enterprise graphics

The collection of graphic files that are generated from CAD drawings by the (Undefined variable: Primary.AutoCADExtName) programs for use in:

Smart Client Web views
Web Central views
ARCHIBUS mobile apps

By including these graphic files in reports, you make the drawings available throughout the entire enterprise.

For example, a CAD specialist might publish a floor plan drawing as enterprise graphics, so that the floor plan can be included in drawings that are accessed over the Web using Web Central, or from the Smart Client using an embedded browser.

When an AutoCAD user publishes a CAD drawing as an enterprise graphic, the system generates the following files:

swf (Flash): This file stores your background facility lines, such as walls, doors, and windows
emf (Metafile): These files are used in paginated reports instead of the .SWF files
json (.JSON.zlib file): This file contains the ARCHIBUS Asset data, such as room boundaries and their primary key information for a room asset file.
svg (scalable vector file): This file is an XML file that combines background data and intelligent data in one file. These files are useful for creating graphics for mobile devices, as SVG graphics do not lose quality if they are zoomed or resized.

The files are stored in the projects folder, such as /ARCHIBUS/projects/hq/graphics.
