Drag-and-dropping a DXF/DWG file onto the ARCHICAD Floor Plan, Section/Elevation/IE or 3D Document window or Detail/Worksheet window will place the file as a Drawing.Drag-and-dropping a DXF/DWG file onto the background of the ARCHICAD application window, the ARCHICAD menu bar or the ARCHICAD icon will result in opening the file.There are several ways to use Drag-and-Drop techniques while opening/merging AutoCAD drawings: If several DXF/DWG files are drag-and-dropped, only one of them will be dropped since you cannot control which file will be dropped, it is recommended to drag-and-drop only one such file at a time The 3D content of the file is not imported, only its 2D appearance.
With this method, the DWG/DXF file is simply merged into the ARCHICAD Project file. The file will be opened using the last-used DXF/DWG Translator. Left-click the AutoCAD drawing, dragging it over the desired location and dropping it. You can import DXF/DWG drawings using Drag-and-Drop: This will open the GDL Master Window, where you can configure the new object obtained from the entire file.įor more information, see GDL Object Editor. You can also open a DXF/DWG file as a Library Part by choosing the File > Libraries and Objects > Open Object command. The Embedded Layers control in Drawing Settings, available for Drawings with a DWG, DXF or DWF source file, enables you to adjust the source layers’ visibility. įor placed Drawings, you can customize the size, scale, title and framing options for your drawings in the Drawing Settings dialog box. Each default translator listed at the top is briefly described in the Description field.įor more information on Translator settings, see DXF/DWG Translation Setup.
The Translator field in the Open dialog box lists default translators you will use in most cases (such as “for as is output”).Conversion rules for data exchange between ARCHICAD and AutoCAD are stored in a file called a Translator (extension XML).Choose File > Open and then select the file you need in the directory dialog box.You can open DXF and DWG format files in ARCHICAD as Drawings or Layouts.
