I will shortly need to extensively exchange VW drawing files with partners working with Autocad, back and forth.
I've been for years using VW and sending DWG file to clients, what I usually do is send both a DWG and PDF file, to be sure that they understand and read my drawings correctly. But I didn't need to get back the same drawing into VW again...
I would like to hear your advices about the best way to organize my VW drawings and the best exchange options to use when exporting and importing DWG.
I know VW drawings structure are quite different from DWG:
- in VW I use often layers with different scales (1:1, 1:50, etc). How can I manage this in DWG?
- styles and thickness. I'd like to keep the same look in VW and DWG files since I will be going back and forth from VW to DWG and back to VW. How to achieve the best compromise?
