Opening SXF file (SFC/P21)
Opening SXF file
- On [File] menu, click [Import] - [Import SFC/P21 File].
[Open] dialog box will be displayed.
- Select an SXF file, and click [Open] button.
The selected SXF file will be opened.
Restrictions on opening SXF file (SFC/P21)
RootPro CAD can open an SXF (SFC/P21) file of level 2. When opening an SXF file (SFC/P21), the following shape data will be converted to those suited to RootPro CAD.
| SXF shape data | Shape after conversion |
|---|---|
| Paper | No restrictions |
| Layer | No restrictions |
| Defined line type | No restrictions |
| User-defined line type | No restrictions |
| Defined color | No restrictions |
| User-defined color | No restrictions |
| Line width | No restrictions |
| Text code | No restrictions |
| Point marker | Converted to a point. * To match the visual size on paper, the size is converted to a size calculated by multiplying by the reciprocal for the locate scale of the part drawing layout. |
| Line | Line (No restrictions) |
| Polygonal line | Polyline (No restrictions) |
| Circle | Circle (No restrictions) |
| Arc | Arc (No restrictions) |
| Ellipse | Ellipse (No restrictions) |
| Elliptical arc | Elliptical arc (No restrictions) |
| Text elements | Text (No restrictions) |
| Spline curve | B-Spline |
| Dimensions (straight line, angle, radius, diameter, arc length) | Converted to respective dimensions (arc length dimensions are converted to arc dimensions). * To match the visual size on paper, the arrow size is converted to a size calculated by multiplying by the reciprocal for the locate scale of the part drawing layout. |
| Lead | Converted to a lead. * To match the visual size on paper, the arrow size is converted to a size calculated by multiplying by the reciprocal for the locate scale of the part drawing layout. |
| Balloon | Converted to a balloon. * Text sizes are adjusted to fit within the balloon. * To match the visual size on paper, the arrow size is converted to a size calculated by multiplying by the reciprocal for the locate scale of the part drawing layout. |
| Hatch (defined) | Converted to a similar pattern among pattern hatches. * The patterns are in black. * The background is white with the transparency set. |
| Hatch (solid) | Converted to a solid hatch. |
| Hatch (user-defined) | Converted to a user-defined hatch. |
| Hatch (pattern) | Converts Umafumi (brick-like pattern) published as specification for SXF (sxf_hatch_style_7_symbol) and 45 degree Kasane Ajiro (diagonal brick-like pattern) (sxf_hatch_style_8_symbol). |
| Composite shape (part drawing) | Converted to a part drawing. * For the part drawing of the geodetic coordinate system, set the character string "$$SXF_FG" to the explanation of the part drawing. |
| Composite shape (drawing component) | Converted to a drawing component. * A shape containing a dimension, lead, balloon or point is exploded and located to match the size of the arrow/point to that on paper. |
| Composite shape (drawing group) | Drawing group (without name) |
| Raster data | Converted to an image. * When a layer for raster data is not defined, the first layer defined on the layer definition table is used. |
| Contour | Shapes defined as contours are converted so that they can contain contour information as their attributes. |
| Drawing title space | Converted as user settings in file properties. For details on properties, see "Drawing title space" in "SXF Specification V3 Format File." |
| Clothoid | Converted to a polyline. Parameters for clothoid curves are retained as attribute values. For attribute names, see "Clothoid" in "SXF Specification V3 Format File." |
