  1. Is that result from a published DWG file? If yes and if you are opening the file on a different machine, then the reason is, that the font, used inside the Vectorworks document, is not found on the other machine. In this case AutoCAD will substitute the missing font with another font (Simplex by default). Solution is to install the necessary font on the other machine. It is also possible, that Vectorworks document uses a mapped font to present the text and when the document is published, the original font is used by the the text in the created DWG file. In this case it is better to use the option "Preserve mapped font on export" form the Export options dialog. Of course, you might also have a combination from both factors.
  2. @MsFrosst, May I have the dwg file, which you try to import? You could mail it directly to me. Thank you!
  3. There is a good discussion here: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/110016-blender-to-vectorworks/
  4. @designosaur, On Mac, Publish dialog closes immediately after you have chosen to start the publish. If it stays open, then there is some error and possibly a dialog, which needs your attention. However the dialog might be hidden behind the Publish dialog itself...
  5. Thank you for bringing this up, @Tom Klaber! It is on our radar.
  6. @LuisYDA, when the file opens, would you check what kind of references do you have? For example, updating external file format references could take more time. In these cases you might consider changing the reference settings to save the cache and do not update on file open.
  7. Sure, @hassled! You could post the file here and I or anyone from the Forum could convert it to you. In case you do not want to share the file with everyone, you could send it directly to me, as a private message.
  8. Hi @zoomer, I believe you meant here Top View, not Top/Plan View. You can export 3D graphics from either Top View or any 3D View. I added an enhancement request for this. This is a known issue, which is due to the difference in 3D Solids presentation in both Vectorworks and DWG/DXF file formats. On failure to properly match a Vectorworks solid to a DWG/DXF solid, we decompose it to Faces to preserve the graphics and visualization. This is in our list with supported features, which require improvements.
  9. @Lukemon, file is exported with Vectorworks 2023. According to the document structure, the best conversion options to use during export were Export Vectorworks layers as DXF/DWG layers, All layers exported. KGC_Monroe 2.3 FINAL v2023-dwg.zip
  10. @Olivier De Kegel, preferred way to export the 3D model is to start DWG export from a design layer, Top view. Check that the export option to flatten the drawing is set to OFF. If this still does not give you the expected results, please, send the Vectorworks document and used export options to me.
  11. Can we have a test document, please? Also - which Vectorworks version do you use?
  12. @mattryan, In Vectorworks 2023 you could explode all the blocks during the DWG import. In this way you will not receive any symbol definitions, just the line work. I exported the attached by you document to DWG and then re-imported it in Vectorworks 2023, choosing to explode all blocks. Then I saved it as a Vectorworks 2020 file. I believe you could use this document instead of the attached by you. archicad import v2023 to v2020.vwx
  13. If you need to scale the imported graphics immediately after the import, then drawing has not been imported with the correct units. This might be either because the DWG file setting for units and actually used in the drawing units are different or because the file is set to unitless. You can control units conversion from DWG/DXF Import options dialog. Import the drawing in a blank document and check the size of any object from the drawing. If it does not seem correct, then just import again with appropriately changed units. If you need to import the drawing in an already started project, then save the document before import, check the imported drawing and if you do not like the drawing size, just close the document without saving. And yes, importing in a separate document and referencing it in the main project is a good solution. One more approach is to directly reference the DWG file. You might import DWG layers as Vectorworks layers.
  14. @Go Kehoe Go, when did you see the error message - on import or on export? If this was on import, did you try to open the DWG file in a viewer?
  15. At first I thought that this might be due to the export of the worksheet data - we had such issue for worksheets with lots of rows/columns. However this problem is fixed in Vectorworks 2022 or even in the previous version. May I ask you to send the document directly to me?
