Solid Edge How to import an Autocad polyline with the same graphic aspect?

Autocad polylines are imported to Solid Edge as thin lines. However some users may want to have the same graphic aspect as in AutoCAD, as shown below.

Yet by default Polylines converted by Solid Edge are thin, as shown here.

Solution

Since ST10 MP8, the user is now able to define how to convert the Autocad polylines. 


There is a new option in the SEACAD.ini - "Apply Global Polyline Width Factor".  The default value is 0. When this option is set to 1, Solid Edge will convert a thick polyline in Autocad as a filled Hatch in Solid Edge:


Apply Global Polyline Width Factor = 1
