Batch - Create Native Drawings
Used to process all drawings in a selected directory into native drawings as a batch to avoid the need to process drawings individually.
If you have to pass on 3D or 2D drawings, it is sometimes necessary they do not contain any ProStructures objects.
The tool converts each object in the drawing into its original graphical elements so that any recipient of the output drawing files (.dgn) does not get Proxy error messages during loading.
CAUTION: When
the tool is used, the information in the drawing is graphically maintained, but
the complete
ProStructures intelligence of the component
parts such as shape reference, logical links etc., is lost.
