Conversion between programs

[Larry Kumpost]

Dawn:

I dxf to ACAD all the time. No real problems and Chief 6.0 works much better than 97 did for both imports and exports. Here are several things to consider:

1. If you name any CAD blocks that you create in Chief do not use spaces or dashes or anything else that ACAD does not like or it will not open the dxf file.

2. You can export 2D or 3D so ask what type of file they want.

3. If you plan to do this then if you don't already have ACAD (or at least ACAD lite) you should consider getting it. Once you export from chief and do most of your production in another program their isn't much point in bringing it back into Chief.

Hope that helps.
