Converts AEC entities into native entities.

BricsCAD Lite; BricsCAD Pro; BricsCAD Mechanical; BricsCAD BIM

Description

Creates a new version of a drawing file with all AEC entities converted to blocks containing native entities.

Note: The EXPORTTOBRICSCAD and EXPORTTOAUTOCAD commands are identical.

Method

Define the file format, whether to bind Xrefs, the bind type, the file name prefix, and the file name suffix, or keep the default settings.

If you enter a file name (not accepting the default one) in the command line (FILEDIA=0), the output file will be created in the same folder as the original drawing, not the current working folder.
