Convert DGN to DWG ARES Commander 2016 offers two ways to maintain an optimal workflow with DGN files and the many users of Bentley Microstation; “Import DGN” And “Attach DGN” Command. 1 00:00:09,460 –> 00:00:15,40 ARES Commander 2016 can work with DGN files from Microstation. 2 00:00:15,49 –> 00:00:21,320 We can go to the INSERT tab, where we find the command IMPORTDGN. 3 00:00:21,320 –> 00:00:25,400 The dialog box is similar to the one for block insertion. 4 00:00:25,400 –> 00:00:31,189 We browse for the file that we want to import, click open, and define the insertion point. 5 00:00:31,860 –> 00:00:36,800 We can write the coordinate or specify it directly in the drawing. 6 00:00:37,840 –> 00:00:40,780 We also determine the scale and rotation. 7 00:00:41,140 –> 00:00:44,800 If required, we can even choose the view we want to insert. 8 00:00:45,380 –> 00:00:48,380 In this case, we only have one to

Curved Text from Ares Commander collection of extra tools ARES Commander 2016 offers us a collection of extra tools which allow us to perform tasks that weren’t possible before. “Curved Text” is one of them. 1 00:00:09,180 –> 00:00:13,120 Ares Commander 2016 offers us a collection of extra tools 2 00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:17,200 which allow us to perform tasks that weren’t possible before. 3 00:00:17,740 –> 00:00:20,20 For example “curved text.” 4 00:00:20,140 –> 00:00:23,330 For this, we need an arc. A circle would not help 5 00:00:23,330 –> 00:00:28,990 because it is required to have a starting and end point to adjust the text. 6 00:00:29,860 –> 00:00:36,40 We draw an arc defined in this case by three points, and select “curved text.” 7 00:00:40,220 –> 00:00:42,260 We click on the arc. 8 00:00:42,780 –> 00:00:49,380 Ares Commander 2016 then uses the arc as a reference to write a

Working With QUICK INPUT ARES Commander 2016 gives us information about the command that we are using directly at the pointer. At the same time, it offers us the coordinates of the position of the pointer. By clicking on a point, the Quick Input options appear. This is a new feature in ARES Commander that can be activated or deactivated here. When activated, contextual information appears about the angles and distance from the starting point. In this case, I can write a distance, for example. Then after pressing the TAB key, we can also change the angle, in this case adding degrees. Press ‘Enter’ to confirm the changes and to create the new point. Now we can let the polyline end perpendicular to this rectangular shape here. But when the pointer moves, we can see that many entity snaps appear. That’s why we should use the snap filter by combining
Architect and archaeologist Irene Blum works at the University of Bochum, Germany. She uses ARES Commander for excavation work in an antique city in Turkey. “As our activity goes on for many years at the same location but with changing staff, we need a user-friendly and versatile CAD program” Detailed Plans The ability of unlimited zooming in and out allows to create detailed plans of all the findings such as walls, components, fountains – everyone in the team has access and can see the area they are working on. “We feed ARES Commander with the coordinates we gain from surveying the site, so we can reproduce any point or line to scale – and also later identify where exactly this is on site”, says Blum. For this the various layers are a great help: Even the most diverse topics can be visualized individually or in any combination. This may be
