Raster |
Creates a raster-based SVG or SVGZ file |
| THUMBSIZE |
|
Thumbnail Size |
| SIZE |
|

| PRECISION |

SVG Coordinate precision |
Blocks
| PARAMETER |
BLOCKS |
| Purpose |
This parameter controls whether blocks are created in the SVG file (as group codes) or whether a “flat” file is created with no block structure. |
| Example |
-BLOCKS=IGNORE |
| JSON |
{“CreateBlocks” : false} |
| Values |
Ignore/Off/No: Turns off block creation On/Yes/“Blank”: Turns on block creation (Default) |
| Alias |
None |
| Use |
SVG Only |
Break By Layer
| PARAMETER |
BL |
| Purpose |
This parameter forces the converter to output each AutoCAD Layer as a separate output file. The files are all defined in the same definition space and, if overlaid, will form a composite drawing equivalent to the drawing created if this parameter is not used. |
| Example |
-BL |
| JSON |
{“BreakByLayer” : true} |
| Alias |
None |
| Use |
With SVG Only |
Building
| PARAMETER |
BUILDING |
| Purpose |
This parameter allows the specification of the name of the Building. This is an informational only field that is added to the Metadata area of the SVG file. |
| Example |
-BLDG="New Office Building” |
| Alias |
-BLDG |
| Use |
SVG Only |
Floor
| PARAMETER |
FLOOR |
| Purpose |
This parameter allows the specification of the name of the Floor in the Building. This is an informational only field that is added to the Metadata area of the SVG file. |
| Example |
-FLR="4th Floor” |
| Alias |
-FLR |
| Use |
SVG Only |
List Area
| PARAMETER |
LIST AREA |
| Purpose |
This parameter causes the area of closed polygons to be output. |
| Example |
-LISTAREA |
| JSON |
{“ListArea” : true} |
| Alias |
-LA |
| Use |
SVG Only |
Postfix
| PARAMETER |
POSTFIX |
| Purpose |
This parameter defines a string to be added to all SVG Ids. |
| Example |
-POSTFIX |
| JSON |
{“PostFix” : false} |
| Use |
SVG Only |
Raster
| PARAMETER |
RASTER |
| Purpose |
This parameter causes a raster-based SVG/SVGZ file to be created instead of a vector-based file. |
| Example |
-RASTER |
| JSON |
{“RASTER” : true} |
| Use |
SVG/SVGZ Only |
Thumbnail Line Weight Minimum
| PARAMETER |
LWTMIN |
| Purpose |
This parameter defines the minimum width to be used for entities in the Thumbnail file. |
| Example |
-lwtmin .5 |
| Use |
SVG Only |
Thumb Size
| PARAMETER |
THUMBSIZE |
| Purpose |
This parameter defines the threshold to be included in Thumbnail file |
| Example |
-THUMBSIZE=2 |
| Use |
With SVG Only |
Size
| PARAMETER |
SIZE |
| Purpose |
This parameter defines the size of the SVG file. This is useful for display exact graphical information. The default is 2500. A large size will typically give a larger file. |
| Example |
-SIZE=10000 |
| Use |
With SVG Only |
Precision
| PARAMETER |
Precision |
| Purpose |
This parameter sets extra coordinate precision in the SVG file. This will increase the precision within the defined size of the drawing. For very high precision use a combination of Size and Precision. Precision can be between 2 and 15. A high coordinate precision will typically give a larger file. |
| Example |
-PRECISION=12 |
| Alias |
-PC |
| Use |
With SVG Only |
