4. Check the Split by Color check box if you want to be able to select parts of compound entities in
JetStream. For example, a window object from Architectural Desktop may be split into a frame and a
pane. If this check box is not checked, then you will only be able to select the window object as a
whole, whereas if you check this check box, you will be able to select the individual pane and frame.
However, the names of the pane and frame will be based on their color.
5. From the Default Decimal Units drop-down, choose the type of units that JetStream will use when
opening .dwg and .dxf files that were created with decimal drawing units. Note that .dwg and .dxf files
do not specify the units they were created in. If the units turn out to be wrong, they can be easily
changed using the File Units and Transform function (see Section 11.10, “ Setting a File's Units
and Transform ” for more details).
6. Check the Merge 3D Faces check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model as seen in
the selection tree by interpreting ajoining faces with the same color, layer and parent as a single item.
Leaving unchecked leaves these entities as separate items in JetStream.
7. Check the Merge Lines check box if you want to reduce the complexity of the model as seen in the
selection tree by interpreting ajoining lines with the same color, layer and parent as a single item.
Leaving unchecked leaves these entities as separate items in JetStream.
8. Check the Convert Off check box if you want to read layers that are switched off in .dwg and .dxf
files. They will be converted but hidden in JetStream.
9. Check the Convert Frozen check box if you want to read layers that are frozen in .dwg and .dxf files.
They will be converted but hidden in JetStream.
10. Check the Convert Entity Handles check box if you want to read entity handles as a property
attached to the item in JetStream.
11. Check the Convert Groups check box if you want to retain the groups from .dwg and .dxf files,
adding another selection level to the selection tree. See Chapter 9, Selecting Items for more
information on selecting objects and the selection tree.
12. Check the Convert XRefs check box if you want to convert any external reference files contained
within the .dwg file. Unchecking this will give you more control over which files you append into
JetStream.
13. Check the Merge XRef Layers check box if you wish to merge the layers of external reference files
into those of the main .dwg file. Leaving this unchecked will keep the external reference file separate
within the selection hierachy of JetStream.
14. Check the Convert Views check box if you want to convert the named views from the file into
JetStream viewpoints.
15. Check the Convert Points check box if you want to read any points from .dwg and .dxf files. See
Section 12.5, “ Display Options ” for more information on how to display these in JetStream.
16. Check the Convert Lines check box if you want to read any lines and arcs from .dwg and .dxf files.
See Section 12.5, “ Display Options ” for more information on how to display these in JetStream.
17. Check the Convert Snap Points check box if you want to read any snap points from .dwg and .dxf
files. See Section 12.5, “ Display Options ” for more information on how to display these in
JetStream.
18. The Loader for 2004 dwg combo box allows selection of which version of ObjectDBX is used when
loading AutoCAD 2004 .dwg files. This allows you to select support for the correct version of object
