Merge Lines Indicates whether the file reader interprets joining lines with the same color, layer, and parent as a single item in the Selection Tree. Clear this check box to keep the entities as separate items in the Selection Tree. Convert Off Select this check box to convert layers that are switched off in DWG and DXF files. They are automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores switched off layers. Convert Frozen Select this check box to convert layers that are frozen in DWG and DXF files. They are automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores frozen layers. Convert Entity Handles Select this check box to convert entity handles, and attach them to object properties in Autodesk Navisworks. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores entity handles. Convert Groups Select this check box to retain groups in DWG and DXF files; this adds another selection level to the Selection Tree. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores groups. Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files contained within the DWG file automatically. Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later yourself. Merge XRef Layers Select this check box to merge the layers in external reference files with layers in the main DWG file in the Selection Tree. Clear this check box to keep the external reference files separate from the main DWG file in the Selection Tree. Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk Navisworks viewpoints. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores views. Convert Points Select this check box to convert points in DWG and DXF files. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores points. Convert Lines Select this check box to convert lines and arcs in DWG and DXF files. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores lines. Convert Snap Points Select this check box to convert snap points in DWG and DXF files. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores snap points. Convert Text Select this check box to convert text in DWG and DXF files. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores text. DWG Loader Version Specifies which version of ObjectDBX to use when loading AutoCAD files. This option enables you to select support for the correct version of object enablers that can be used within the file. NOTE When you modify this setting, restart Autodesk Navisworks to apply the changes. This is because once any particular version of ObjectDBX is loaded during reading of a DWG or DXF file, the version in use does not change until the program is restarted. Load Material Definitions Select this check box to extract material definitions from DWG files. When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores material definitions. Use ADT Standard Configuration Select this check box to convert geometry and materials in DWG files using the Standard display configuration. Clear this check box to convert geometry and materials accordingly to whether they are displayed in the currently saved display configuration. Convert Hidden ADT Spaces Indicates whether space objects that lack any visible 3D geometry in DWG files are converted (for example, objects that lack floor or ceiling thicknesses). Selecting this check box results in corresponding hidden objects appearing in Autodesk Navisworks. File Readers Node | 423
