- ----------------------------------------
- Enter '1' for MICRO CADAM to DXF file translation. This process gets a
- MICRO CADAM model, extracts all the elements from the database, and builds a
- DXF file representing the same model.
-
- Enter '2' for DXF file to MICRO CADAM model translation. This process takes
- a DXF file and builds a MICRO CADAM model by mapping DXF elements into the
- MICRO CADAM database.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPBRKDIM
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter 'N' to maintain the dimension as a single complete entity.
-
- Enter 'Y' to break up dimension geometry into individual components. For
- example, a single dimension could be broken up into the individual lines,
- curves and text that represent that dimension. Breaking up the dimension
- allows a user to selectively erase parts of the dimension.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPPOLY2LIN
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter 'N' to maintain the DXF polyline as a single entity after it is
- converted to a MICRO CADAM element.
-
- Enter 'Y' to break up a DXF polyline entity into individual MICRO CADAM line
- segments. Breaking up the polyline allows a user to selectively erase
- portions of the polyline after it is converted to a MICRO CADAM drawing.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPDRIVE
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the drive that has the MICRO CADAM system installed which you
- are either getting a drawing from or sending a drawing to.
-
- NOTE: There must be a disk inserted if the selected drive is a floppy
- diskette drive.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPDXFNAME
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the name of a DXF file.
-
- DXF file names are 8 character DOS file names. You are allowed to
- qualify any DXF file name with a full pathname and/or drive letter. For
- example, '\\MCADAM\\DXF\\FILE1' or 'A:\\DISK1\\DXFNAME' are valid entries.
- You should not use the '.DXF' extension, it is assumed in all cases.
-
- Up to 10 files can be translated at a time.
-
- NOTE: If a target DXF file name (MC --> DXF only) is not specified, a default
- name will be chosen for you based on the source MICRO CADAM DRAWING name.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPGROUP
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the name of the MICRO CADAM group.
- The MICRO CADAM group name may consist of up to four alpha-numeric characters.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPUSER
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the name of the MICRO CADAM user.
- The user name may consist of up to six alpha-numeric characters.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPMCNAMES
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the name of a MICRO CADAM drawing model.
-
- The model name consists of a part number (PN), of up to sixteen
- alpha-numeric characters, followed by a comma and then by a find number (FN),
- of up to four alpha-numeric characters.
- You may also enter the name with the PN beginning in the 17th column if you
- do not use a comma.
-
- Valid drawing names:
- PART0021,00D1
- REVISED VERSION,4B
- 1,12AB
- DRAWING ONE
-
- Up to 10 drawings can be translated at one time.
-
- NOTE: If a target MICRO CADAM drawing name (DXF --> MC only) is not specified,
- a default name will be chosen for you based on the source DXF file name.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPMCOVERITE
- ----------------------------------------
- Key in 'Y' to overwrite any existing MICRO CADAM model(s).
-
- If you key in 'N' when translating from DXF to a MICRO CADAM
- model, and the target MICRO CADAM model already exists, the DXF file will not
- be processed. The original MICRO CADAM model will remain unchanged.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPDXFOVERITE
- ----------------------------------------
- Key in 'Y' to overwrite any existing DXF file(s).
-
- If you key in 'N' when translating models from MICRO CADAM to DXF
- and the target DXF file already exists with the same name, that DXF file will
- not be overwritten.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPUNITS
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter the desired units per inch value.
-
- INCH ----------------------- for inches
- FEET ------------------------- for feet
- MM -------------------- for millimeters
- CM -------------------- for centimeters
- METER ---------------------- for meters
- OTHER -------- for other units per inch
-
- This value will be used during the MICRO CADAM model creation process to
- set the model units per inch. It can be any value greater than zero.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPBLKNM
- ----------------------------------------
- Enter '1', '2' or '3' to specify method for naming blocks.
-
- '1' Specifies that the DXF Block names be created from the Detail names or
- if the Detail name does not exist that the Detail number be used.
-
- '2' Specifies that the last four characters of the CADAM Drawing name and
- the Detail number be used to create the DXF Block name.
-
- '3' Specifies that the whole CADAM Drawing name, the Detail number and the
- Detail name (if present) be used to create the DXF Block name.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPNOSHEN
- ----------------------------------------
- Specify the method for translating the CADAM noshow entities.
-
- 'Y' Specifies that the noshow entities will be translated.
-
- 'N' Specifies that the noshow entities will NOT be translated.
- ----------------------------------------
- @@HLPCOLOROPT
- ----------------------------------------
- Specify the suppressing of element color.
