Mapping of SAP2000 objects and DWG entities
SAP2000 supports export of DWG objects as described in the table below:
|
SAP2000 Object |
DWG Entity |
|---|---|---|
1 |
Point |
AcadPoint |
2 |
Line |
AcadLine |
3 |
NLink (2 or 3 Points) |
AcadLine |
4 |
NLink (1 Point) |
AcadPoint |
5 |
Area |
Acad3DFace |
6 |
Solid |
AcadPolyFaceMesh |
Note: If you try to export DWG file without AutoCAD installation then you get a warning message. It is normal. In SAP2000, we use ActiveX late binding and try to create AutoCAD objects. If we are not able to create them then its mean AutoCAD is not installed. But this is only done for AutoCAD DWG import/export, import from DXF and export to DXF does not require AutoCAD to be installed.
