Display proxy entities

Specifies whether Smart Interop Publisher translates proxy objects. Select this option to translate and then display proxy objects. This option is enabled by default.

AutoCAD applications that create proxy objects must be able to export their graphics into a standard AutoCAD file, or into another format that can be read by Smart Interop Publisher. Otherwise, the converters cannot read the graphics. As an example, the converters cannot read the graphics if graphic entities are generated using object enablers. If you have AutoCAD formats that cannot be converted, please contact the application provider for a solution to export the graphics into a readable format.

Translate reference models

Turns on or off translating reference attachments present in the AutoCAD source file. Clear the option to ignore the reference models so that Smart Interop Publisher translates only the graphics that exist in the main input file. This setting is turned on by default.

  • Smart Interop Publisher supports AutoCAD 2013 or earlier .dwg files.

  • Installing MicroStation V8i SS3 provides translation for any proxy objects inside these files. For typical AutoCAD entities, the presence of MicroStation does not make any difference. However, if the file contains at least one proxy object and MicroStation V8i is installed on the machine, then translation is performed using MicroStation.

  • For reliable publishing of AutoCAD proxy entities, load MicroStation V8i SS3 and RealDWG 2013 SP1.

  • You can set up level mapping for graphics in Smart Models translated for the Smart Review target. Use levels to show specific graphics and remove unnecessary ones to control the size of the Smart Model. See Use level mapping for graphics
