To format an AutoCAD file without using the Building Floor Manager:
Select File > Open Drawing to open the AutoCAD file.
Next, choose the Format Building > Format CAD Drawing menu command to launch the dialog box. This
dialog allows you to manually format the layers in an AutoCAD file.
When the Format CAD Drawing command is initiated, some preparatory work will be performed on
the open AutoCAD file. In the course of this operation, Summit WMScanner will search through the
entire drawing file and attempt to separate all composite entities (for example, polylines, blocks, and so
on) into individually selectable graphical entities (such as lines). Any arcs in the drawing will be
automatically converted into a series of straight lines. It will also remove all references to unused blocks
and empty drawing layers.
During the course of this procedure, certain drawing entities may seem to disappear. They have not
been deleted from the drawing file, but may have moved to a hidden or invisible drawing layer as a
result of having been separated from the block or composite entity.
NOTE
Door arcs present on any layer with the word "door" in it will be automatically converted to doors. This process may
require several minutes, depending on the size of your drawing file.
