Working with DWG/DXF Files

The DXF/DWG Add-on is installed together with the Archicad  package and is smoothly integrated in the Archicad user interface. It allows you to:

• Open AutoCAD drawings as Projects or Library Parts
• Merge AutoCAD drawings with your Project file
• Place AutoCAD drawings as Drawings on Layouts or Model Views
• Add AutoCAD drawings as external references (XREFs) to the Project
• Import BLOCKs from an AutoCAD drawing and create Library Parts out of them
• Save or Publish your Floor Plans, Sections/Elevations, Detail Drawings and 3D Views in AutoCAD formats
• Save your Layouts in AutoCAD formats.

Use or edit Translators to make it easier to apply a customized set of conversion rules.
