To import objects to a layer with the same name as the input layer, right-click the Drawing Layer column heading in the table.
If an object does not have aĭata value attached, the object is imported to Layer 0. If the data value specifies a layer that does not exist, the layer is created. If the data value specifies a layer that already exists, the object is imported Click OK to close the Layer Mapping dialog box.ĭuring import, AutoCAD Map 3D reads the specified data value for each object.
To import objects to an AutoCAD layer whose name is specified in data stored on the imported object, click Use Data Field For Layer Name.
Click in the cell and enter a layer name.
To import objects to a new AutoCAD layer, click Create On New Layer.
Click the down arrow and select the layer.
To import objects to an existing AutoCAD layer, click Create on Existing Layer.
In the Layer Mapping dialog box (Import), do one of the following:
To change the AutoCAD layer, click in the Drawing Layer field for the input layer to change.
In the Import dialog box, review the target drawing layer for each input layer (sometimes called a schema, level, or file) in the incoming file.
Click Insert tab Import panel Map Import.
To specify an AutoCAD layer during import
Put objects on the AutoCAD layer specified by the assigned object class (available only if you assigned the input layer to.
Put objects on an AutoCAD layer based on data attached to the objects.
Put objects on an existing AutoCAD layer.
You can specify one of the following layer options: If you assign the input layer to an object class with a layer property, the default will instead be the default AutoCAD layerĭefined by the object class, and the Drawing Layer field displays. Is created and objects are copied to the new layer. If an AutoCAD layer with this name already exists, objects are copied to that layer. By default, AutoCAD Map 3D imports data to an AutoCAD layer with the same name as the layer (sometimes called a schema, level, or file) in the inputįile. When you import data (as opposed to using Data Connect), the imported material is converted to AutoCAD drawing objects.
