Importing & exporting from & to "SoftPlan", from VW

[Garry Dreger]

Has anyone had any experience with the topic? Can it be done?

If it can work, what is the simplest way to do it? Apparently, it's

all a matter of importing "dxf" files, doing what you do, and then

exporting "dxf" files. I work on a computer, but I am not what I

would call a " computer person" . In short, any and all advice will

be appreciated.

Thanks,

Garry

VW has an import and export option for dxf/dwg support.

When you are working in VW and want to send the file to SoftPlan, go to File>Export>Export DXF/DWG. When you want to import, go to File>Import>Import DXF/DWG.

In most cases, the default settings will give you the best files. In some cases, some of the settings aside from the default will need to be selected. With SoftPlan, you shouldn't need settings other than the default when importing and exporting.

Thanks Katie,

I am exporting from VW 9.5.3, running on a Mac. He is using a Windows platform. I can import dxf"s from him, as well as opening the dfx that I am sending and those I've e-mailed to myself. Any ideas?

Thanks,
