After export, leave the file open and import the exported file back into a Vectorworks file or into another software package. Compare the two versions, noting any problems. For example, the loss of object fills in earlier versions of DXF/DWG can cause unwanted lines to display. How do I open a DWG file without AutoCAD? Adobe Acrobat DC is a PDF solution that allows you to convert, sign, send and manage documents. It’s really easy to use too – from Windows Explorer, simply locate the DWG file, right-click, and select “Convert to Adobe PDF”. Click OK to import the file(s). The progress of the import is displayed for each imported file during import. The final results of the import process are shown in the DXF/DWG or DWF Import Results dialog box. Click Details to open the results log file. The log text file, named DXFDWGDWF Import Log, is placed in the specified destination folder if it exists, or in the Vectorworks user folder. Normally the Vectorworks program leaves the document units setting unchanged after an import. If a DXF/DWG or DWF file is set to meters, but the Vectorworks document is set to feet and inches, then a dimension object that shows 1 meter in the original file will show as 3'3.37' in the imported file.

You can export a single DXF/DWG or DWF file, or export several files as a batch.

It is frequently helpful to view the translated file in a third-party software program to ensure that the translation process did not introduce unwanted effects. After export, leave the file open and import the exported file back into a Vectorworks file or into another software package. Compare the two versions, noting any problems. For example, the loss of object fills in earlier versions of DXF/DWG can cause unwanted lines to display. Correct these problems in a copy of the Vectorworks file and export the file again. Export options can be saved as a set.

Do not change the file extension of the exported file, or other software packages will not be able to read the file. Do not export as binary DXF unless you are certain that the recipient will be able to read this format.

AutoCAD users may report that circles and other objects look like blocky polygons. They can improve the appearance of the drawing by zooming in and using either the “regenall” or “regen” command, or by increasing the VIEWRES value.

Exporting a Single DXF/DWG or DWF File

Select File>Export>Export DXF/DWG or File > Export > Export DWF.

Either the DXF DWG Export Options or the DWF Export Options dialog box opens, depending on your selection. The dialog boxes are very similar, except for the file format settings.

Select the appropriate export options, and click OK to export the file.

The export dialog box options are described in DXF/DWG and DWF Export Options. During the export, a progress bar displays, along with the number of objects processed.

Exporting DXF/DWG or DWF Files as a Batch

Use the Publish command to export a series of sheet layers and/or saved views from the current drawing and externally-referenced files to DXF/DWG or DWF format. See Batch Publishing.

DXF/DWG and DWF Import Options

The DXF/DWG Import Options dialog box and the DWF Import Options dialog box are very similar. This is because when you import from DWF, the drawing objects are first converted to DXF/DWG, and then converted into Vectorworks format. Change the import options to import a DXF/DWG or DWF file with the maximum integrity. The same import options display for import of single files and batches of files.

The first tab, Primary Settings, contains important basic settings. The Graphic Attributes and Objects tabs contain settings for advanced users to customize the import process. The Location tab helps with importing a file and locating it appropriately relative to the internal origin of the Vectorworks drawing.

If true line weights are not present in the file, you can map the DXF/DWG line colors to Vectorworks line weights for import (on the Map Colors to Line Weights dialog box).

To make custom imports faster and easier, save the sets of options that you use frequently.

Import Options: Primary Settings Tab

The options on the Primary Settings tab establish the basic import options.

Parameter	Description
Saved Settings Options
Settings	Select <Active Settings> to use the import options currently selected in the dialog box; to use a set of saved import options, select one from the list
Save	Opens a dialog box to name and save the currently selected import options so that they can quickly be selected as a set
Manage	Opens the Saved Settings dialog box to rename or delete sets of saved import options see Managing Saved Import Options
Model Space Units	Version 2000 and later DXF/DWG or DWF files support true units. When importing a file with true units, the Vectorworks program determines and sets the units automatically. If the imported file does not contain true units information, the program tries to guess the units setting; however, it may still require adjusting (see Setting Units Manually).
Units Setting In File	The Vectorworks program tries to determine the imported file’s unit settings, and displays the information to the right of Units Setting in File, along with the unit format (such as Architectural), and the scaling factor that will be assumed (such as 1 DXF/DWG Units = 1”). ●To use the displayed unit settings in the Vectorworks file, select Determine Automatically from the list, and also select Set Vectorworks Units to Match. ●To use another unit type (such as Centimeters), select it from the list, and also select Set Vectorworks Units to Match. ●To use a custom unit type, or to change the default scaling factor, select Custom from the list, and then specify the units in the text boxes. Enter the unitless DXF/DWG or DWF number in the first box, and a number with units in the second box. (For example, 15 DXF/DWG Units = 1” in the Vectorworks drawing.) The units displayed in the second box are the same as the current Vectorworks document settings, but other units can be entered as long as the appropriate units suffix is included, such as 3 cm. Also select Set Vectorworks Units to Match. ●To use the units currently set in the Vectorworks file, select Use Vectorworks Document Units. The Vectorworks program assumes that 1 DXF/DWG or DWF unit = 1 current document unit when importing objects.
Set Vectorworks Units to Match	Changes the Vectorworks document units and units format to match the DXF/DWG or DWF file being imported; the physical sizes of imported objects will not be affected. This option is disabled when Use Vectorworks Document Units is selected from the Units Setting In File list. This option is disabled when the DXF/DWG or DWF file is imported as a referenced file.
2D/3D Conversion
Convert Objects To	Specify whether objects should be imported as 3D, 2D, or a mixture of 2D and 3D. Generally, select the 2D and 3D option, which converts objects that appea
