LOAD_AURORA_DXF
Pull the session's Aurora design layout geometry into model space.
Downloads the project's Aurora design layout (roof, modules, inverters, site lines) and places it into the drawing's model space at the standard location and scale — clearing the working area first so re-runs don't stack geometry. After placing, it sanity-checks the module and inverter counts against the project's equipment list and warns if they don't match.
On the ribbon: JobEngine → Drawing Tools → Load DXF
When to use it
At the start of a drawing, before or after LOAD_DT. The typical order is LOAD_AURORA_DXF first (geometry), then LOAD_DT (data). If the drawing already knows its session, the command uses it automatically; otherwise it opens the session picker.
Prerequisites
- Signed in (run
LOAD_DTonce if not — sign-in lives there). - The Model tab must be active, not a paper layout.
- 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. |
Paperspace layout is active. | Click the Model tab at the bottom of the drawing area, then re-run. |
Not signed in. / Authentication failed. | Run LOAD_DT to sign in (or re-sign-in), then retry. |
