Interoperability with Other
Applications
AutoCAD Architecture 2011 is compatible with other Autodesk software applications (such
as Autodesk
®
Land Desktop and Autodesk
®
DWF
â„¢
Viewer) as well as applications that are
IFC certified. Interoperability features expand the usability of AutoCAD Architecture. For
example, you can import LandXML data and use the topographical information to site your
building appropriately.
Importing and Exporting IFC Files
Based on established, international standards for common objects in the building
industry, the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format provides an
interoperability solution between different software applications. Using IFC
reduces the loss of information when files are transmitted.
AutoCAD Architecture is IFC-certified for importing and exporting version 2x3
IFC files. IFC files from versions 2x2 and 2x can also be imported if the data is
compatible with 2x3 and is consistent with implementation agreements as
defined for the IFC 2x3 coordination view. For more detailed information, go
to http://www.iai-international.org and search for IfcWiki Web resource.
IFC certification enhances your ability to share project information across
disciplines and technical applications over the life of the project. Using the IFC
format, you can export these drawings to other IFC-certified applications that
could not otherwise open a DWG file. For example, building models drawn in
AutoCAD Architecture are saved to a DWG file format. You can export the
drawing using the IFC format. Likewise, you can import an IFC file to create
and work in a DWG that was originally created in a format other than DWG.
Visual fidelity for three-dimensional (3D) objects is maintained in model views.
This means that dimensions are maintained for 3D objects exported to IFC.
