This file contains georeferenced geometry You can also import with the option to convert dimensions to groups (see Advanced import options: Blocks pane) if you want the document to stay in the current units, but you want the dimensions to look the same as in the original. Select this option if you want the imported drawing to be the same as the original. 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. This option is disabled when the DXF/DWG or DWF file is imported as a referenced file. The Units Ratio fields display how many DXF/DWG (or DWF) units correspond to real units.Ĭhange current Vectorworks document units to match the specified DXF/DWG (or DWF) file unitsĬhanges 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. If the files to be imported have unit settings but you do not want to use them, select this option and select the units to use from the pull-down list. Import DXF/DWG (or DWF) files using specified units Select the units to use from the pull-down list. If any files to be imported are unitless, the For unitless DXF/DWG (or DWF) file use option is available. If multiple files are selected for import, displays, and the units set in each file will be used. In most cases, these detected units should be used for import. If a single file is selected for import, the units display to the right of this option, along with the unit format (such as Architectural). Saved sets: To use a set of saved import options, select the set from the list. : Uses the import options currently selected in the dialog box (the setting changes automatically when you change a default option). The DXF/DWG Import Options and DWF Import Options dialog boxes establish the basic import settings.Ĭlick to show/hide the parameters. To make custom imports faster and easier, save the sets of options that you use frequently. 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). For example, if no points are contained in the file to be imported, the Points options are grayed, and the message “No points were found” displays. Options that do not apply to the current file import are grayed, and an explanation displays next to the option. If you get unsatisfactory results from the import, import again and click the Advanced button to open another dialog box with additional import options. The first dialog box, DXF/DWG Import Options (or DWF Import Options), contains basic settings. The same import options display for import of single files and batches of files. Change the import options to import a DXF/DWG or DWF file with the maximum integrity. This is because when you import from DWF, the drawing objects are first converted to DXF/DWG, and then converted into Vectorworks format. The DXF/DWG and DWF import procedures are very similar.
