If you export files in AutoCAD format (.dwg or .dxf), you can assign layer names to Cyncly component categories.

Once renamed, layer names can be included before the 3D/2D shape in AutoCAD.

Complete the following steps to define the Export to AutoCAD preferences:

  1. To rename some of the categories, in the FILE menu, select Preferences.

  2. In the Preferences dialog box, select the Export to AutoCAD pane.

  3. In the Categories pane, expand the overall category (General, Residential, or Commercial), and the component level that you want to assign a layer name to.

  4. Select the category that you want to assign a layer name to.

  5. In the AutoCAD layer name field, type the new layer name.

  6. Select the Add 2D/3D prefix on the layer name checkbox if you want to add the assigned layer name to the exported 2D and 3D shapes in AutoCAD.
