CAD import definitions
A CAD import definition defines the various parameters for importing Planon data such as floors, spaces, persons, flexible workspaces, ‘Rent from’ and ‘Rent to’ units from CAD drawings.
The import definition defines, for example, the location where the drawings to be imported are found, which business objects (floors, spaces, workspaces etc.) have to be imported, the date the changes will be active, file handling of the .dwg files etc.
 | Drawings used in a Test environment should not be used in a Production environment. Importing the same drawing in Production would result in incorrect data, because different spaces, persons, assets, flexible/fixed workspaces, ‘Rent to’ and ‘Rent from’ units are updated. Also, doDo not import old drawings if more recent drawings have already been imported, because this may lead to discrepancy in data. For example, if a space is ended during an import because its polyline is no longer in the drawing, importing the same drawing on an earlier date will not end the space on the earlier import date. |
