Convert Entity Handles Select this check box to convert entity handles, and attach them to object properties
in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores entity handles.
Convert Groups Select this check box to retain groups in DWG and DXF files; this adds another selection level
to the Selection Tree.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores groups.
Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files contained within the DWG file
automatically.
Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later yourself.
Merge XRef Layers Select this check box to merge the layers in external reference files with layers in the main
DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the external reference files separate from the main DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk Navisworks viewpoints.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores views.
Convert Points Select this check box to convert points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores points.
Convert Lines Select this check box to convert lines and arcs in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores lines.
Convert Snap Points Select this check box to convert snap points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores snap points.
Convert Text Select this check box to convert text in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores text.
Default Font Indicates which font to use for the converted text.
Convert Point Clouds Select this check box to convert the AutoCAD Point Cloud entities. This only has an
effect in the 2011 versions of AutoCAD and Autodesk Navisworks. Earlier versions will ignore the point clouds
or display proxy graphics (often as a wireframe box).
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores point clouds.
Point Cloud Detail Specifies how much detail to extract from the point cloud. The valid entries are between 1
and 100, where 100 = all the points, 10 = about 10% of the points, 1 = about 1% of the points.
Use Point Cloud Colors Controls the point cloud colors. Select this check box to use color values for the points
in the point cloud.
When this check box is clear, any color values for the points in the point cloud are ignored and the normal
AutoCAD color for the entity is used. This option is useful if the specific colors stored are too dark or meaningless.
DWG Loader Version Specifies which version of ObjectDBX to use when loading AutoCAD files. This option
enables you to select support for the correct version of object enablers that can be used within the file.
NOTE When you modify this setting, restart Autodesk Navisworks to apply the changes. This is because once any
particular version of ObjectDBX is loaded during reading of a DWG or DXF file, the version in use does not change
until the program is restarted.
Load Material Definitions Select this check box to extract material definitions from DWG files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores material definitions.
Use ADT Standard Configuration Select this check box to convert geometry and materials in DWG files using
the Standard display configuration.
Clear this check box to convert geometry and materials accordingly to whether they are displayed in the currently
saved display configuration.
Convert Hidden ADT Spaces Indicates whether space objects that lack any visible 3D geometry in DWG files
are converted (for example, objects that lack floor or ceiling thicknesses).
