Naming convention for exported layers
Note: These settings also affect which name is proposed for the export file.
The options that are actually available to you depend on the setting under Arrange layers.
When set to Layers, the following options are available:
- Full layer name: the names that are given to the layers match the full layer names in Allplan, e.g. General01.
- Abbrev. layer name: the names that are given to the layers match the abbreviated layer names in Allplan, e.g. DE_GEN01.
- Abbr./full name: the names that are given to the layers are created based on the following principle: abbreviated layer name_full layer name, e.g. DE_GEN01___General01. Please note that the ”_” character is added to the abbreviated layer name so that it always consists of a maximum of 10 digits.
This option is only available when the Documents option is not enabled under Arrange layers.
When set to Documents, the following options are available:
- Prefix (for import too): when this option is activated, the layer name is given the prefix TB_.
Example: the drawing file 10 Floor Plan results in a layer called TB_10_Plan (when set to Number + Name). - Document number: with this setting, the layer name is based on the number of the layout/drawing file.
Example: the drawing file 10 Floor Plan results in a layer called 10. - Document name: with this setting, the layer name is based on the name of the layout/drawing file. Please note that if different drawing files have the same name, it is not possible to create unique layers.
Example: the drawing file 10 Floor Plan results in a layer called Floor Plan.
