Re: exporting map files from epanet -Reply
Don,
When you copy an EPANET display map to the clipboard all you get is a bitmap image of what's on the screen. I assume Autocad wants to see something in a vector format, such as a .DXF file. So I think you're out of luck.
One alternative approach we have tried is to add the Postscript printer to our list of Windows printers (using the Printers applet in the Control Panel), and set its options to print to an encapsulated Postscript file. Then switch to this printer when you print an EPANET map. Next, if you have an illustrator program that can import postscript files (such as Adobe Illustrator, Arts & Letters, etc) then you should be able to enhance the map by adding text, changing colors, etc.
When Version 2 of EPANET apears you will be able to save copies of a map as either a Windows metafile (.wmf) or an Autocad DXF (.dxf) file.
