Last week saw the release of AutoChart version 3.0.18215 which includes a couple of major enhancements to allow the import of File Geodatabase Feature classes as CAD entities and to use MAP Object Table or ESRI MSD Table attributes to style and symbolise imported data.
In the first of two blog posts I'll demonstrate the Import File Geodatabase command before covering the Style Features command in a second post.
Import File Geodatabase can be found under the AutoChart-GIS Attach/Import menu:
The command allows Point, Line or Polygon Feature classes to be imported to create corresponding entities in CAD. Optionally values within a specified field can be used to provide the Layer names for associated entities and the colours of those layers can be cycled through a fixed palette.
The Feature Class Attribute Table can be added to each entity using an AutoCAD MAP Object Table (AutoCAD MAP/Civil 3D only) or as an ESRI MSD Table.
The fields and associated values within that table can then be defined as required in the Mapping Table setup.
Each Feature within the selected Feature Class will be imported into the current drawing as a corresponding CAD entity - point entities if the source is a Point Feature Class, polylines if it is a line feature class or hatches for a polygon feature class.
The link below will open a video showing the process in action:
