How to find the setting information of a DWG file?
Thread Content
Sometimes it’s very pleasant for me to watch how others create CAD drawings; I often use those as examples to learn from. I really want to know all the settings related to the drawing that can be found in DWG files. How can I find this information? I hope experienced users can offer some guidance.
AutoCAD’s “settings information” can be divided into two types: one is saved in the file, and the other is saved in the environment. The latter cannot be obtained completely from DWG.
The setting options include line width, color, text style, annotation style, layers, and line types – all of which can be found in the graphic. I wonder what else you’d like to look up? ? ?
Thank you for the reply from above: In fact, parameters such as line width, color, text style, dimension style, layers, line type, as well as sheet size and global scale factor can be used to determine the exact initial settings. What should be done due to different CAD versions?
There are many parameters set in CAD; if you think that a certain drawing is useful for your work, you can delete its contents and save the drawing as a template file to use for your own drawings.
