Working with CAD import definitions
In Planon ProCenter, you can create a CAD import definition which defines the various parameters for importing the Planon data such as floors, spaces and persons from CAD drawings.
The import definition defines, for instance, the location where the drawings to be imported are found, which business objects (floors, spaces, assets etc.) have to be imported, the date the changes will be active, file handling of the .dwg files etc.
Drawings used in a test environment should not be used in a production environment. Importing the same drawing in production would result in incorrect data, because different spaces, persons, assets and fixed workspaces are updated. Also, do not import old drawings if more recent drawings have already been imported, because this may lead to discrepancy in data.For instance, if a space is ended during an import because its polyline is no longer in the drawing, importing the same drawing on an earlier date will not end the space on the earlier import date.
