Table Of Contents
Map
Maps the layers selected in Translate From to the layer selected in Translate
To.
Map Same
Maps all layers that have the same name in both lists.
Translate To
Lists the layers you can translate the current drawing's layers to.
Load
Loads layers in the Translate To list using a drawing, drawing template, or
standards file that you specify. If the specified file contains saved layer
mappings, those mappings are applied to the layers in the Translate From list
and are displayed in Layer Translation Mappings.
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.
