jaseweil Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I am new to Vectorworks and have not yet imported a dwg or dxf file. I need to purchase a house plan in a CAD form, the following file formats are available:.aec,.dwgR12,.dwgR13,.dwgR14,.dwgR2000 or .dxf I am running Vectorworks 11 on a mac. Does anyone out there know which of these files are compatible and which will give the best results importing into vectorworks. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 The dwg or dxf files will all work with VW 11. Simply go to File>Import>Import Single Dxf/Dwg, select the file and click OK to import the file. Quote Link to comment
jaseweil Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks Katie, What is the difference between dwgR12, R13 etc.....Is there one that will work better for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 The number just identifies what version of AutoCAD the file was created in. 12 is version 12, 13 is version 13, etc. Quote Link to comment
