Possible values: |
0: None: Creates a flat structure without blocks in the model space of the target database, regardless of whether the imported data have an assembly structure or not. 1: As blocks: The imported data have an assembly structure, which will be converted into a hierarchy of plain blocks; so the structure will be preserved, while the assembly metadata are lost. If the imported data is composed of entities only, they are placed in the modelspace of the target database. 2: As mechanical components: In this mode, data will be translated to BricsCAD® assembly data, the structure and its properties (physical materials – BLMATERIALS command). If the imported file has no assembly data, a mechanical component will nevertheless be created in the BricsCAD® target document root. |
