Performing CAD drawing verification
For a successful CAD Import, a CAD drawing must meet various conditions. Typically, an import of complicated drawings or multiple drawings can produce errors. In such cases, it is difficult to find which drawing at which layer is giving the error. The majority of failed imports are due to
Crossing polylines or overlapping
Space entities (gross & net). These errors can be avoided by verifying a drawing before importing. CAD verification functionality enables you to inspect the entire drawing and locate where the faults are.
Procedure
1. Go to CAD import definitions > CAD import definitions.
2. Select the CAD import definition you want to verify.
3. On the action panel, click Perform CAD verification.
The process starts running in the background.
4. After completion, go to the Import logs step to see the verification results.
The event logs of the CAD verification are preceded with the text '[VERIFICATION]'. Any faulty drawings are preceded with an error (
) icon. For detailed information of the fault, go to the
Import log details step.
• To understand the different crossing polylines listed in the
Import log details, see
Crossing polylines • To view the crossing polylines listed in the
Import log details, open the AutoCAD drawing and use the EOS CAD tools to identify them with the AutoCAD Handle ID. For more information, see
Eos CAD tools.
