Construction Class Elements
|
Defines how Construction class elements are written
to DWG files.
In
MicroStation DGN files, element
display can be controlled based on the element’s class. Construction class is
commonly used for geometry that is useful for construction purposes but not
considered part of the actual model. DWG files do not have analogous concepts.
- Save — Saves
Construction elements to DWG in the same manner as Primary class elements.
- Omit — Does not
save Construction elements to DWG.
- Save As Invisible —
Saves Construction elements to DWG as invisible entities.
- Save To
"Construction" Layer — Saves Construction
elements to layers with the original layer name followed by (Construction).
This is the default.
- Save to
"Defpoints" Layer — Saves the geometry to the
Defpoints layer. AutoCAD typically uses this layer for dimension definition
points and other construction geometry.

Pattern Class Elements
|
Defines how Pattern class elements are written to
DWG files.
In
MicroStation DGN files, element
display can be controlled based on the element’s class.
MicroStation uses the Pattern class
for all area and linear pattern geometry. When linear patterning is applied to
an element, the element class is changed to linear patterned.
DWG files do not have analogous concepts.
Associated patterns are saved as hatch entities and can be controlled (along
with filled geometry) with the AutoCAD FILLMODE setting, but non-associative
and linear patterns are saved as simple geometry and therefore have no such
control.
- Save — Saves
Pattern elements to DWG in the same manner as Primary class elements. This is
the default.
- Omit — Does not
save Pattern elements to DWG.
- Save As Invisible —
Saves Pattern elements to DWG as invisible entities.
- Save To
"Pattern" Layer — Saves Pattern elements to
layers with the original layer name followed by
"(Pattern)."
- Save to
"Defpoints" Layer — Saves the geometry to the
Defpoints layer. AutoCAD typically uses this layer for dimension definition
points and other construction geometry.

Defines how Linear Patterned class elements are
written to DWG files.
In
MicroStation DGN files, element
display can be controlled based on the element’s class.
MicroStation uses the Pattern class
for all area and linear pattern geometry. When linear patterning is applied to
an element, the element class is changed to linear patterned.

Associated patterns are saved as hatch entities and can be controlled (along
with filled geometry) with the AutoCAD FILLMODE setting, but non-associative
and linear patterns are saved as simple geometry and therefore have no such

- Save — Saves Linear
Patterned elements to DWG in the same manner as Primary class elements.
- Omit — Does not
save Linear Patterned elements to DWG. This is the default.
- Save As Invisible —
Saves Linear Patterned elements to DWG as invisible entities.
- Save To
"Linear Patterned" Layer — Saves Linear
Patterned elements to layers with the original layer name followed by
"(Linear Patterned)."
- Save to
