DXF files

You can use the standard DXF (Data Exchange Format) to transfer the graphics from the GROMA program to a different graphic program. The majority of graphic systems (including MicroStation, AutoCAD, etc.) can import pictures in this format. Before exporting the graphics into this format, it is necessary to first set the parameters in the dialog window Settings->DXF. Here you have to define, whether you also want to write the header in the file (some programs, e.g. MicroStation, need it for correct location of the elements in levels), whether you want to exchange the coordinates X and Y, etc. The parameter settings are described in details in the Reference manual.

The elements are stored in the DXF file in levels which are set for the pertinent projection. The levels which are turned off in the projection will not be stored in the DXF file. Therefore, only elements which are visible in the active window will be in the DXF file. The only exceptions are the crosses of the square net which are not written to the DXF file.
