Importing Pages in DXF / DWG Format

When importing DXF / DWG files into the project layer a graphics page is generated for every selected DXF / DWG file.

Precondition:

You have opened a project.

  1. Select the following commands: File > Import > Command group Project data > Project data > Command group Page > DXF / DWG.
  2. In the DXF / DWG file selection dialog, specify in the Files of type field whether only DXF or only DWG files should be displayed.
  3. If necessary, navigate to the directory containing DXF or DWG files. Select the required files and click [Open].
  4. In the Scheme field of the DXF / DWG import dialog, select an appropriate scheme from the drop-down list. Or click [...] to call up the dialog Settings: DXF / DWG export and import. You can view the settings here for the standard scheme, and also create and edit your own schemes.
  5. Click [OK].
  6. In the Assign pages dialog specify how new project pages are to be handled.
  7. Click [OK].
  8. If you have selected the Scaling dialog option in the Import tab in the settings (File > Settings > User > Interfaces > DXF / DWG export and import), the dialog Import formatting is opened and you can edit the automatically determined drawing limits.
  9. Click [OK].

    The files are imported into the current project as newly generated graphical pages.

Tip:

You can import DXF / DWG files using Drag & Drop, by dragging the selected DXF / DWG files from Windows Explorer and dropping them into the page navigator of your project.
