BiztroBill Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've searched the forum and haven't been able to find an answer to this question, but surely there has been discussion(?) How do I import Autocad dwg v2010 into VW 2009? Do I have to get a 3rd party app to convert the file before importing??? Bill Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Vectorworks 2009 will only import Autocad 2009 and earlier. Quote Link to comment
starling75 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Try Draftsight for converting dwg. It supports dwg 2010 http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/download-draftsight/ I've searched the forum and haven't been able to find an answer to this question, but surely there has been discussion(?)

GWS Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yes Draftsight is very useful and unlike TrueView it runs natively on a Mac Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Not trying to be catty, but let's think this through. VW2009 was released in September of 2008. Autocad 2010 was released in March 2009. It is not reasonable to expect a piece of software to support a file format that was not released until 6 months later. VW2011 will handle the AC2010 file. Or ask the sender to save it back to an earlier DWG format. Quote Link to comment
BiztroBill Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 No problem. Thanks for your helpful answers. I downloaded "DWG-DXF Converter 1.40.app" from cnet yesterday and it worked fine. I'll look at Draftsight as well. Quote Link to comment
