LOAD_AURORA_DXF
Downloads the project's Aurora design layout (roof, modules, inverters, site
lines) and places it into model space at the standard location and scale.
Managed re-runs replace only the prior primary import, so an
existing-system source is preserved.
After placing, it sanity-checks module and inverter counts against the
project's equipment list and warns if they do not match.
It also applies the template's standard layer colors after import — the fire pathways layer is set to red so fire-access geometry renders correctly on the site plan, matching the legacy drawing standard. If your team uses a different layer-color standard, an admin can turn this off in the plugin's config to leave imported layer colors untouched.
On the ribbon: JobEngine → Drawing Tools → Load DXF
When to use it
Use this for a targeted primary-site-plan rerun. The normal new-drawing path is
LOAD_DT, which reviews and imports the same primary DXF
alongside the session data, BOM, and wire schedule. If the drawing already
knows its session, this command uses it automatically; otherwise it opens the
session picker.
Prerequisites
- Signed in with
SIGN_IN_DT. - The Aurora design must have a DXF export. This happens in Aurora, not in AutoCAD.
Common problems
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
No Aurora Design DXF exported for this session. | Open the design in Aurora, export the DXF there, then run the command again. |
Not signed in. / Authentication failed. | Run SIGN_IN_DT, then retry. |
