Summary

The DXF Import Settings dialog provides controls to configure import options for standard DXF files and then load them into the drawing space.

Note that DWG (*.dwg) files also can be imported. See the Access section for information regarding importing DWG files. 
Note that the DXF source graphic is interpreted using Draftsman’s standard graphical shape objects – lines, circles, rectangles, text – and each individual object is therefore editable in the Draftsman Properties panel.

Access

From the main menu, select File » Import from DXF then use the file browser to select a *.DXF file in the Open dialog then click Open.

To import DWG files, in the Open dialog, enter the name of or browse to and select the *.dwg file you want to import then click Open to access the DXF Import Settings dialog.

Options/Controls

  • Units – Select metric or imperial units to best match the source file.
  • Default Line Width – Select a default line weight for all objects within the imported graphic file, where 0.2mm corresponds to Draftsman's 'normal' line weight setting.
  • Default Font Family – Select a default font to be used to represent any text in the source file.
If you find an issue, select the text/image and pressCtrl + Enterto send us your feedback.
