BG Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 We have recently converted some DWG files drawn in Autocad. 2 "sheets" were created in AC (1 sht of plans & 1 sht of elevs) but when converted to VW we ended up with 1 layer with the plans & elevs together and 2 more layers with just title block information. I did speak to them & they drew the plans & elevs on 1 "model" layer and then arranged these plans & elevs on 2 other layers to create the 2 drawings sheets - If you know what I mean! Is there something the person creating the AC file can do to ensure we get the drawings the way they intended? Thanks Brett VWA 9.5 Win XP Quote Link to comment
Adin Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Sending them as PDF files comes to mind. Otherwise, no. The good people of NNA work hard to give us the ability to import data well, but it is still an "import" rather than "opening" of the sender's file. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If there are viewports in the drawings, those won't import in. Also, AC layers are VW classes. Make sure the class options is set to show snap modify others. Quote Link to comment
