A prototype file is a file in which specific defaults and resources (e.g. layer names, linetypes) are saved. When exporting, these resources are displayed in the Configuration for Conversion dialog box and you can make assignments.
This can be very useful when the layer names must be returned to AutoCAD as they are. The file must include at least one element with these properties (pen, line, color, pattern etc.). Otherwise, the definitions saved in this file are not presented. You can also use the original file as a prototype file. You have already imported this file to Allplan. Prototype files can only be used for exporting data.
Note: Prototype files are not compatible with earlier versions: if you want to export data to AutoCAD 2000, you have to use an AutoCAD 2000 prototype file (i.e. at least AutoCADV2000.dwg).
