AutoCAD To QY CAD Translation Wizard- Step 1 of 8

Displays the name of the AutoCAD configuration file that you want to use for the imported file. This file contains the user-defined settings, such as font and line type mapping. The configuration file used by default is seacad.ini which is located in the QY CAD 2022\Preferences\Translators folder. This file name and folder are reserved for QY CAD Draft and cannot be overwritten.

User-defined configuration files that are used across network drives or defined through network drives are supported.

Translates the ACIS data to 2D geometry.

Draft

Specifies draft as the 2D translation target environment.

Part Sketch

Specifies part sketch as the 2D translation target environment.

Assembly Sketch

Specifies assembly sketch as the 2D translation target environment.

Defines the part of assembly sketch plane you want to use when translating 2D geometry to the sketch environment.

Translates the ACIS data to either a part file or an assembly file.

As Part file

Translates ACIS data as a part file.

As Assembly file

Translates ACIS data as an assembly file.

SAT Translator Options

Displays the Import Options for ACIS (.sat) dialog box.

Displays a list of layers found in the AutoCAD file being imported. By selecting a layer, you can preview the layer before importing the file. This gives you an idea of how the different layers will appear in the draft file.

You can control the display of the selected layers when you select one or more layers in the Show Layers area, and then right-click and select Show or Hide.

Previews the AutoCAD file prior to translation. When you click the button, the layer information is populated and the image in the View area is updated. Only the layers selected in the Show Layers area are displayed. If you page through the wizard and return to this page, you must re-select the Preview button to refresh this information.

Redraws the preview to reflect any changes made to the current layer settings.

Displays a list of background colors.

Zooms into an area in the window. The two points you place define the view.

Reduces or enlarges the display of geometry around a specified point in the window.

Fits all elements to the window.

Enables you to move in any direction from a specific point on the model to see other areas of the model.

Maps the current view orientation in the active AutoCAD file to a standard view orientation provided by AutoCAD. The drop down list contains ten orientations from which you can choose. The displayed value defaults to the orientation in the AutoCAD file. For example, if the vector for the view is 0, 0, 1, it is recognized as the top view, and Top is displayed. If the view is unknown or is not defined as one of the ten standard AutoCAD views, the displayed value defaults to Custom View.

When you select a view orientation, the preview updates to reflect the selected orientation and the orientation name is stored in the Name= parameter in the configuration file.

This option is available only for model space drawings.

Translates a selected sheet or all sheets in the file.

If you select a sheet that is not listed in the AutoCAD file, all sheets are imported. If you select a paper space sheet, the corresponding graphics in the model space are also translated.

If you display the model sheet and then set the Translate Sheet Option to Import Preview Display, QY CAD only imports the layers displayed in the model sheet. Any layers not displayed are not imported. If you do not set the option to Import Preview Display, QY CAD imports the entire DWG file.

Translates the AutoCAD solid bodies to .SAT file format.

Displays a dialog box where you can reset wizard options to their default values. You can reset options on the active page or you can reset options on all pages in the wizard. If you select Reset all options, the system resets options for all pages and displays the first page of the wizard.

Discards all input and exits the command.

Moves to the next dialog box of the Import Translation Wizard.

Finishes the wizard and returns to the Open File dialog box.
