Friends, there is no substitute to reading the documentation. The most up to date version of this is located in our Team Drive – but here is a local copy nonetheless.

Following minimum checks should be carried out for interop

1. The member-schedule CSV file has the all the layer names in the cad files
2. Layer names do not contain special characters
3. Command Verifylayer is run from Autocad/Nanocad
4. Command DSL is run in autocad/nanocd
5. overkill is run in autocad with tolerance set to 0.5
6. autocad/nanocad file is saved
7. If the tekla model is to be in imperial then Autocad file is scaled by 25.4

To draw cols (Autocad/nanocad)

1. Make sure the start point of the line is at the col location
2. Draw short lines not less than 100 units  in plan view in the col layer
3. run command MakeCol (to turn horizontal lines to vertical lines – which represent cols)
4. Run command SCL (Set Col Length) to set the top RL of the lines selected.

Commands you can run using Tekla Interop (Autocad and Tekla)

1. “Deletesmalllines” (deletes all small lines from Autocad)
2. ConverttoTekla (converts all lines from Autocad into Tekla as per local UCS set in acad and Tekla)
