DXF Translator - Import Options dialog box

The DXF Import Advanced Options dialog box is opened when you click on the Advanced button in the Import Options dialog box while performing a DXF Import.

Arc Conversion Angle: Angle in degrees used for converting arcs and circles to piecewise line segments. The angle, in degrees, is the step size used to divide up the circle or arc. For example if the angle is 10, a circle will become 36 line segments. The default is 10.

Combining Tolerance: Tolerance used to join nearly touching objects to form a larger polygon. The default is .0011.The units used are those selected in the Units drop list above.

Miter Rounded Polyline Corners: Polyline rounded corners are "mitered". Straight line segments are used instead of the arcs.

Merge planar polygons: Selecting this option will combine overlapping or touching polygons of the same metal type and Technology Layer into a single polygon. Only independent polygons of the same metal type or metal polygons assigned to the same Technology Layer are combined. This reduces the number of polygons in your final translated project.

Additional Options:  This entry should only be used at the direction of Sonnet Support.
