    Importing AutoCAD DWG

    Hey all,

    I'm trying to import some AutoCAD drawings, and some of the lines in the file are not importing into Chief. What's happening? I know that the lines are there b/c I looked at them with a DWG viewer.

    Tried that, I turned the background to black and no luck. I've turned on all layers, made sure I was importing all layers, etc.

    Is it a plan drawing with architectural desktop ??

    The people that gave you that plan will have to explode the objects and then it should work or even convert it into a .dxf
