Print2CAD OCR 2013 - 54
7.1 Recognition of the Layer Structure
Print2CAD offers various possibilities to assign a layer structure to the resulting DWG
or DXF le.
7.1.1 Assign the PDF Layer Structure to DWG or DXF (if available)
When creating a PDF le, a PDF layer structure can be assigned. Unfortunately, this
feature is rarely used.
The layer structure in PDF has a tree-like structure. In contrast, the layer structure in
DWG or DXF is at.
Print2CAD offers the possibility to convert the tree-like structure from PDF to the at
layer structure of DWG or DXF.
7.1.2 Sort Elements on a Separate Layer According to Entity Color
Print2CAD offers the possibility to create a layer structure based on the colors of PDF
elements. If the recognition function is activated, all elements will be sorted by color into
separate layers. The layers receive the name: Color-[Number] or Color-[RGB]. Under
certain circumstances this function may create a too many layers so we recommend to
change the colors to 10 index colors.
This feature can be combined with the option “Sort Elements onto Separate Layers Ac-
cording To Entity Line Weight.”
7.1.3 Sort Elements on Seperate Layers According to Entity Line Weight
Print2CAD offers the possibility to create a layer structure based on the line weight of
PDF elements. If the recognition function is activated, all elements will be sorted by line
weight into separate layers. The layers receive the name: Width-[Number].
This feature can be combined with the option “Sort Elements onto Seperate Layers
According to Entity Color.”
Important!
Line width is only available in DWG or DXF le version 2004 and higher. Therefore
if necessary, change the target version to 2004 or higher.
