Update DXF-DWG Translators

Migrate from Archicad 25 and earlier

The DXF-DWG translator file (xml format) now uses an updated file format. Dialog-level feedback helps you convert your translators to ensure a smooth migration whenever needed.

Translators imported from earlier-version Archicad projects are listed in the DXF/DWG Translator Setup, but they are outdated and therefore uneditable. They are marked with an icon and tooltip. Just create a duplicate - the new copy is updated to the new format.

If the outdated (and therefore uneditable) translator happens to use a template file that is inaccessible: it is also marked with an icon and tooltip with instructions.

1.First open the translator in an earlier (pre-28) version of Archicad - now the translator settings are editable

2.Browse for the template file - now the template file and its settings are accessible

3.Reopen the translator in Archicad 28: now you can update the translator (create a duplicate), based on the template file settings
