DX Editor

DSG files store a snapshot of data read from a drawing.

From the app, you can view a drawing and browse the database. If you have experience with drawing exchange group codes and values, you can modify the data.

COPY AND PASTE ENTITIES

To write a drawing from the snapshot

1. If you want to change the drawing filename, click Drawing Link in the Settings panel.
2. In the Drawing tab, click DWG.

To reload drawing data into the snapshot

This procedure reloads snapshot data from the .dwg file. Any changes made in the editor are lost.

• In the Drawing panel, click Reload.

To create an empty snapshot

1. In the Drawing panel, click New. Specify a name for the drawing.
2. If you want to link to a DWG file, click Drawing Link and change the .dxf extension to .dwg.

The new drawing database is minimal. It does not include optional system variables, classes, or objects.

To copy an entity

Copy and paste entites using the clipboard. This procedure uses the DXF Data commands in the context menu.

1. In the grid, select a cell in the row you want to copy from.
2. Right-click and select DXF Data> Copy Data. Your clipboard now contains entity data.
3. Select a cell above the row you want to copy to.
