Background: This determines the way the colors of the back-
ground are painted. The following options are available:
No Background Color interpolation for background fill
for trace groups. Files are imported with the exact spacing
of data
Default Defined in PIP file
Always Off No color interpolation
Always 1D Displays the background in baseline direction
only
Always 2D Displays the lines in biaxial interpolation
2
Wiggle: This option sets the way that Canvas displays the line
segments, determines the way points are joined together, and fits a
curve to discrete points as defined by the PIP file. Supported resam-
pling methods are as follows:
Default Defined in PIP file
Linear Linear interpolation in which adjacent sample
points are joined by straight lines. This will display the
smoothest connection between segments.
Replicate Repeats the value between samples and displays
true non-curved lines between segments.
Using AutoCAD DWG format
The AutoCAD DWG import filter lets you import native AutoCAD
(r14) files into Canvas. This filter fits an AutoCAD drawing to a doc-
ument size of 8.5 by 11 inches. To use this filter, choose File > Open
or File > Place and select AutoCAD DWG format in the directory
dialog box.
Using Drawing Interchange Format (DXF)
Drawing Interchange Format (DXF) is a format developed by
Autodesk, Inc., for exchanging data with AutoCAD and other draw-
ing applications. DXF format provides platform-independent storage
of 2D and 3D technical drawings and supports multiple layers. Can-
vas supports DXF files containing ASCII data, but does not support
DXF files that contain data in binary format.
