If you plan to import AutoCAD DXF™ or AutoCAD DWG files into WMS, you should perform some "clean up" work
before importing the files. Doing this work before you import the files into WMS creates a more compact file, requiring
less storage space. Typically, the more CAD diagram cleanup that is done within the CAD software, the more smoothly
the drawing will import into WMS.
Perform the following steps to clean up the AutoCAD file:
1
Perform an audit
2
Turn on, unlock, and unfreeze all layers
3
Remove unnecessary notations
4
Purge unused blocks, line types, and layers
Typically, based on the drawing technique chosen when the drawing file was created in AutoCAD or TurboCAD, a
single object might be drawn with more than one line; for example, walls. When such an object is imported, it results in
more than one object in WMS. To avoid the actual object being defined as more than one obstacle, delete parallel lines
within a certain distance.
Another method you can use to achieve the same result is to group all the lines into one object. For example, you might
group four lines that form an office or conference room to create one attenuation factor for that entire area. Or, group
multiple lines that were drawn in the floor plan to create a bigger line.
