{info} This page is written for [SAP2000|sap2000:home], though it also applies to [CSiBridge|csibridge:home]. {info} \\ *SAP2000* models may be *exported to DWG* (Drawing) format through the process which follows: \\ # Within [SAP2000|sap2000:home], select File > Export > AutoCAD .dxf File, as shown in Figure 1: \\ \\ \\ !Figure 1.png|align=center,border=0!\\ {center-text}Figure 1 - Export SAP2000 model to DWG format{center-text} \\ \\ # Select AutoCAD .DWG Files (*.DWG) from the drop-down menu within the browse window, as shown in Figure 2: \\ \\ \\ !Figure 2.png|align=center,border=0!\\ {center-text}Figure 2 - Select file for export{center-text} \\ \\ # Choose the SAP2000 model you wish to [export|kb:Export] to DWG format from the list of saved files which are available. \\ \\ # Select Save to begin the conversion process. During conversion, the destination software will automatically open and then close. The SAP2000 model will then have been converted into DWG format. \\ A few notes which concern this process are as follows: * AutoCAD or another DWG-supported software must be installed on the desktop to successfully export a SAP2000 model into DWG format. DXF [import|kb:Import] and export, however, does not require AutoCAD installation on the desktop. * SAP2000 uses {new-tab-link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX}ActiveX{new-tab-link} late binding to create AutoCAD entities. * SAP2000 objects will convert into DWG entities as described in the following table: \\ || || MAPPING content || || || || SAP2000 object || DWG entity || | 1 | [Point|kb:Joint] | AcadPoint | | 2 | [Line|kb:Frame] | AcadLine | | 3 | [NLink|kb:Link] (2 or 3 points) | AcadLine | | 4 | NLink (1 point) | AcadPoint | | 5 | [Area|kb:Shell] | Acad3DFace | | 6 | [Solid|kb:Solid] | AcadPolyFaceMesh | h1.
