Exploding AutoCAD Civil 3D Objects
Use the Export to AutoCAD command to create either a new AutoCAD 2004 or 2000 format drawing with all civil objects exploded. The original drawing is not affected. There are two ways to explode: use the explore command or export as described below.
To explode AutoCAD Civil 3D objects in an enabled AutoCAD session
- Enter -AecExportToAutoCAD at
the command line of an AutoCAD enabled with the Civil Object Enabler.
The following prompt is displayed:
Export options [Format/Bind/bind Type/Prefix/Suffix/?] <Enter for filename>:
- Enter F to display the format options and then specify the file format.
- Enter B to specify whether to bind xrefs. Enter Yes or No.
- Enter T to
specify the bind type. Enter Bind or Insert.
The Bind method preserves xref identities, such as layer names. The Insert method binds the xref to the current drawing in a way similar to detaching and inserting the reference drawing.
- Enter P to specify a file prefix and then enter the prefix.
- Enter S to specify a file suffix and then enter the suffix.
- Enter ? to review the settings you have specified.
- When you have completed specifying settings, press Enter at the <Enter for filename>: prompt, and then specify a file name, including path. For example, enter C:\My Documents\ACAD-Drawing1.dwg.
