You can load layers from more than one file. If you load a file that contains
layers of the same name as layers already loaded, the original layers are retained
and the duplicate layers are ignored. Similarly, if you load a file containing
mappings that duplicate mappings already loaded, the original mappings are
retained and the duplicates are ignored.
New
Defines a new layer to be shown in the Translate To list for translation. If you
select a Translate To layer before choosing New, the selected layer's properties
are used as defaults for the new layer. You cannot create a new layer with the
same name as an existing layer.
Layer Translation Mappings
Lists each layer to be translated and the properties to which the layer will be
converted. You can select layers in this list and edit their properties using Edit.
Edit
Opens the
Edit Layer dialog box, where you can edit the selected translation
mapping. You can change the layer's color, linetype, lineweight, and
transparency. If all drawings involved in translation use plot styles, you can
also change the plot style for the mapping.
Remove
Removes the selected translation mapping from the Layer Translation Mappings
list.
Save
Saves the current layer translation mappings to a file for later use.
Layer mappings are saved in the DWG or DWS file format. You can replace
an existing file or create a new file. The Layer Translator creates the referenced
layers in the file and stores the layer mappings in each layer. All linetypes
used by those layers are also copied into the file.
Settings
Opens the
Settings dialog box, where you can customize the process of layer
translation.
Translate
Starts layer translation of the layers you have mapped.
If you have not saved the current layer translation mappings, you are prompted
to save the mappings before translation begins.
