WilliamK Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 What is the latest supported Autocad version for drawing imports? I can't get VW 12.5.1 to read the latest version, and I can't find where a version is mentioned in the brochures. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) From Help: DXF and DWG File Formats DXF and DWG are two common file formats used to exchange information between different CAD and drawing programs. DXF is a semi-public standard promoted and controlled by Autodesk, Inc. DWG is a proprietary, closed format used by Autodesk for its products. DXF and DWG files contain almost identical information, and both store all of the same objects. Recent versions of AutoCAD have bugs when reading some DXF files, such as losing links to images, so DWG is usually a safer choice in that case. As of this writing, the most recent DXF/DWG version is version 2006. VectorWorks imports and exports versions 2.5 through 2006. Export to versions earlier than 12 is not recommended; maximum file integrity cannot be maintained, because too much information is lost during the translation.
