msmith964 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I am using CA Pro X15. When I export a plan to Autocad, the dimensions are wrong. The text, which is set to be placed over the dimension line, comes into Autocad in the dimension line. I have tried updating the dimensions in Autocad but it doesn't work. I have to manually move each dimension back up over the line. Also the settings in the Properties box for this setting is grayed out so I can't do it that way. Has anyone found a work-around? I know it's a small issue but can be very time consuming. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 @msmith964 It seems you have found your way to the Home Designer forum. Notice the banner at the top and the color difference. And it's Premier, not Pro, and with X15, all you need to say is X15 as it is now unambiguous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLombardo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hi I'm using Home designer pro, and old Chief x1, and export to DWG and DXF quite a bit . You will need to setup a Autocad template and standards file in Autocad, (or in my case NanoCadv5(free)) specifically for importing Chief or HDP files. I have not found a better way to do it. Once your template and standards are setup, it should automatically convert correctly when importing Chief/HDP Also use these settings, I find to be better for fills in AC or Nanocad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
