import/export dxf,dwg files...

Yeah, what Bill said. I don't understand the issue, I've been exporting 2d and 3d .dwg(native Autocad) drawings and models since before the "X" versions with little to no problem and I ain't "Tech Savy". Is very usefull when I do contract field measuring and create an "As Is" or as currently built drawing for an architect that will be doing the design work in Autocad.

Of course, I'd rather not get their 2d dwg files back but you can trace them or use "lines to walls"(which I only briefly screwed around with once). Typically, I don't get drawings back.-BB

Softplan advertises "round trip" autocad capability but I don't know how that works with the 3d etc.
