NewportHouse Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My architect sent me a dwg.file and Home Designer Pro only imports dwf.files. Does anyone know how I can convert the dwg.file to dwf.file so I can import it into the software program? Thanks, NBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I imagine you want a dwg to dxf converter. A Google search will find some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 DXF not DWF.See this prior thread: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/66-convert-dwg-to-dxf/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewportHouse Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks and yes it was dwg to dxf and I figured it out by downloading TrueView Drawing Interchange . Now that I imported the files into the program I need to figure out what to do with them to get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Basically you're just going to end up tracing over the CAD lines that represent walls with the wall tool, manually adding in doors/windows, etc. Pretty similar to this article, except your DWG/DXF is probably already been brought in at the right scale and won't need to be resized.KB-00150: Importing and Tracing Over an Image of a Floor Plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
