To Create a Remapping CSV File

  1. From the File tab, select Save As.
  2. From the Select Format to Save option menu, select the file format type.
  3. Click the Options button.

    Depending on the file type that you chose, one of the following dialogs appears:

    Save As V8 Options

    Save As V7 Options

    Save As DWG/DXF Options

  4. In the Options dialog, select the Remap tab.
  5. Click the Create CSV remapping file icon. The Create Remapping CSV File dialog opens.
  6. Enter the desired name of the file and click Save.

    The remapping file opens as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains a worksheet for each type of parameter that can be remapped: levels, colors, weights, line styles, fonts, and cell names. Each of these worksheets corresponds to a section in the CSV file. There is also an Instructions worksheet which contains the most current information on using the spreadsheet.

  7. Select the tab for the appropriate worksheet (for example, Colors).
  8. In the first column of the worksheet (for example, Color), enter the value to be remapped.
  9. In the same row, enter the new value in the appropriate output column (for example, V7OutputColor).


    Tip: The text box on each worksheet contains information about entering data. If you do not have Microsoft Excel, you can still create a remapping CSV file.
  10. From the spreadsheet File menu, select Save, then select Exit.

    The Options dialog appears.

  11. Turn on the sections in the CSV file to use. For example, to use the Colors remapping defined in the CSV file, turn on Apply Colors.
