    Can I import an entire CAD drawing?

    I have a builder that had someone else create an hvac plan in CAD, and wants me to put it on the layout pages so that they match the rest of the pages. Is there a way to import an entire page at once as one big CAD object or block? I am using V10, and do not have a cad program.

    Thanks,

    open your plan, create a new blank CAD detail, then with the detail open use file>import>drawing(dwg,dxf) and import the cad fiel there...then send it to your layout sheet

    worked

    I could not open as was, but just used the iport tools, and it couldn't have been easier. Creating the mechanical page and sending to layout took about 3 minutes.

    Thanks,
