Keywords: software, data transfer, handover, communication, collaboration, interdisciplinary planning

For general information on how to use the DXF-DWG converter, please refer to the basic documentation provided by Graphisoft in the Help Center.

This documentation is based on the official template file 01 ARCHICAD 20 Template.tpl from the ARCHICAD 20 AUT version.

For ÖNORM-compliant data exchange, the "05 DXF-DWG Config - ÖNORM" template is available among the DXF-DWG converters; it translates attribute content in accordance with ÖNORM A 6241-1. The integrated template file OENORM_A6241-1_Prototyp_AR_2015-07-01.dwg contains the fundamentals specified in ÖNORM, which must be assigned in the conversion lists according to user-specific requirements (Note that in the translator settings under Individual Settings > Save Extras > GDL Parameters for Block Attributes > Use this conversion file must be enabled).

If new attributes are created in a project, they must also be entered individually in the translator.
