    Plan files in .dwg

    My engineer wants me to e-mail my plans to him in .dwg format so he can use my foundation plan to save some time. I have only dealt with pdf files to this point. Can someone please advise me on what to do? Thanks.

    Allen,
    Thanks for the help. When I try to export the foundation plan in .dwg, it saves it as a psp file and then it will not open up in psp. What am I doing wrong?

    Greg, by psp file do you mean paint shop pro? If so, it sounds like you are exporting a picture of the plan. If you hit file>export>current view, it only has two file types possible, dwg & dxf. (on my puter)
