grant_PD Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'm looking into getting files from vw11.5 to dwg for autocad 2000 (which I've never used). In my first couple of test exports, the viewports and model space went across as planned, but my dimensions (inside the annotations) are all shifted about. Does anyone have a method for making the transition smoothly? I'm sure that if I just did all 2d drafting I could get everything lined up, but my current method is to get the drafting from a 3d model. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Trial & Error ... plenty of patience ... strict protocols. First decide which app shall be Master ... then slave to it. Font & line spacing are critical. Use only standard Fonts. Acad uses World Scale whereas VW allows any scale & page scale. Also keep it mind that Acad defaults to engineering scale ratio, ie 1:50 which is mistakenly used for 1/4 scale = 1:48. So get the scales synchronized. Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 So I take it then that it IS possible to get what you want. I'd hate to get 80% down the project pipeline to realize that the conversion really doesn't work at all. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 As they say in Physics, 'there conversion... and then there's conversion'... it sucks to get half way to Mars and then discover that you forgot to convert from Imperial to metric for the fuel :>) Quote Link to comment
