NOTE DGNATTACH is not limited to files with *.dgn extensions. It supports all
DGN files, even those that do not have a .dgn extension.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
TIP You can drag a DGN file onto the drawing window to start the DGNATTACH
command.
Path to DGN File to Attach Enters the full path name to the DGN underlay
file. The file name can include up to 255 characters and contain letters, digits,
spaces, and any special characters not used by Microsoft Windows or this
program.
Entering a tilde (~) displays the Select DGN File dialog box (a standard file
selection dialog box
).
To avoid errors when entering a file name, it is recommended that you specify
both the DGN file and path as follows:
path name\filename.dgn
or
“path name\filename.dgn”
If you enter a valid DGN file name without a file extension, the program adds
the extension and searches for the file.
Enter Name of Model or ? Enter a model name. For a list of models, enter?.
Enter Model(s) to list <*> Lists the design models available in the DGN file
in a separate text window.
Conversion Units Matches the DWF file’s drawing units to the master units
and sub-units specified in the DGN file. For example, if the DGN file has
master units set to meters, and sub-units set to millimeters, and you want the
DWG to be set to millimeters, select sub-units in the Attach DGN Underlay
dialog box.
■ Master Units - Matches the DWG drawing units to the master units set in
the DGN file.
■ Sub Units - Matches the DWG drawing units to the sub- units set in the
DGN file.
Insertion Point Specifies the insertion point for the selected DGN file. Enter
the X, Y, and Z coordinates at the command prompt, or click onscreen.
