I have read many suggestions on how AutoCad file originators can solve specific VW import problems, (zoom extents, explode, etc), but we have files from 3 different sources, who have tried several variations (v.14, v.2000) and there is substantial info missing when we import to VW9. We don't feel it appropriate to send lengthy instructions to the people we share files with.
I sent one file to tech support & then called - pretty much all the tech could tell me was there there was something "way out in space, they can't have things out in space." All we could see on that drawing when importing was the north arrow and the title block. What I don't understand is I keep reading about how paper space items are the problem, but it looks to me like that's all we're getting.
Are there just a few basic instructions we can give Autocad users to make the file understandable to VW? Also, the few people I know who use VW are still on 8.5.2, but they say they have better luck with DXF. Any thoughts?
I saw mention of a 3rd party plug-in on one message (Julian Carr DXF Manager) but cannot find a link to it. Is this old or still useful for VW9?
