Dwg files

how do you convert dwg files to PDF?

To the best of my knowledge, Illustrator can open .dwg files, then possibly save them as a PDF.

  • How to place CADD (DWG) files into an InD document

    I am going to be receiving CADD drawing which have to be placed in my document.  Traditionally  CADD are "DWG" files.  Can I receive them as DWG  and import or place them.  Must they be "Photoshopped" first and changed to a TIFF file.  I do not see any mention of this kind of file in InD or in Photoshop.  Is receiving them as an already changed to PDF the only other option?  Is there something in Illustrator that might be helpful.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the extra info-I would not have remembered to do that- Not operating in the Corel world now-but that is exactly what I had to do often when I was away from the main frame.
    Many thanks for your well thought out help.

  • How do I export a .dwg file so the Search/Find function can be used on it?

    I have some .dwg files that my co-worker exported to PDF. It is crucial for me to have the ability to use the search or "Find" function in Reader. There are 11 different .dwg files exported into an 11 page PDF, but some of the were exported with different properties. I can search on 4 of them, but the other 7 are unsearchable. I believe my co-worker user Autodesk TrueView to export the .dwg files to PDF. So my question is what program I should use (I believe that TrueView is capable of what I am trying to do, but I'm not sure) and how should I set up the the settings before I export it to PDF. Thanks.

    You need to contact Autodesk, almost no one here is likely to be familiar with what Autodesk can or cannot do.

  • How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files.  I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale. 
    I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
    open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
    But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
    open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
    I get a "Can't find alias" error.  How do I specify the AutoCAD options?  I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript.  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I'll answer my own question.  Here's how I specified the options:
    open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
    I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use.  The variable names didn't work.  I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script.  Here's what the codes translate to:
    pGSO = "global scale options"
    pASU = "scale unit"
    pASR = "scale ratio"
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Opening CAD/DWG files on a Mac

    Hi,
    Please can someone suggest a freeware CAD/DWG viewer - Im not fussed about editing the file - for Mac.
    I know AutoDesk offer True View but that is only for Windows, the only software I have found is eDrawings from Solidworks; but after downloading the program I've found it to be a poor system to view DWG files.
    So does anyone know of any free alternatives?
    Thanks

    I searched versiontracker for DWG CAD
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/92142
    I'll let you search MacUpdate

  • How to open .dwg file in Illustrator 6?

    I am unable to open .dwg files  in Illustrator 5 & 6 on my new Macbook Pro (OS 10.7.4). I get an error message "the plugin cannot be initialized for the lack of the initialization file "ADINI.DAT"." This computer  had AI transferred using Apple's Setup Assistant.
    I can open the same .dwg file on an different MacBook Pro in both AI 5 & 6 (the AI installation here was by disk).
    It looks like I may need to remove & reinstall AI on the newer computer. But before I do that I'm wondering if there's an easier way. What do I need to do to be able to open .dwg files using AI6?

    Reinstallation is the simplest solution.
    You may want to be a tad clearer in the future regarding version numbers. It'll simply help get answers faster. Illustrator version 5 and version 6 are drastically different than CS5 (version 15) and CS6 (version 16).

  • How to make a searchable PDF from an AutoCAD DWG file

    We have PDF files created from AutoCAD, but they are not searchable using Adobe Reader X.  I checked the source DWG file to find what font was used, as suggested in an old post, and found that the DWG uses Arial font.  I am not sure what version of AutoCAD was used to create the file, but I can open it with AutoCAD LT 2011.  Can anyone guide me to a way to make searchable PDF files from these DWG files?

    Ok, this is as I feared; something CAD programs are particularly likely to do is draw text with a pen, rather than use text. There might be options in AutoCAD to control this.

  • Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

  • Illustrator CC is not importing AutoCAD DWG file layers correctly

    In CS6, I could import (open) DWG files  and it would correctly categorize the input objects into separate layers. In CC, it is putting them into a group in a single layer,  which is a big usability regression. Is there a fix for this?

    Hi,
    In attachment I have included two dwg files,  both were made in autocad 2014, one saved to autocad version 2007 and one to version 2010.
    link to the files (link active for 7 days): http://we.tl/idgHIsqNgk
    I have opened both in illustrator CC and saved them. Some objects in the Illustrator CC file are on different layers then in the the original autocad file.
    I have opened the same testfile (2007) in illustrator CS6. (file testfile_2007_opened_in_AI_CS6). AI CS6 correctly imports the dwg file.
    The same results are achieved with prior file versions of autocad and with the dxf file format.
    Also the same results are achieved on different computers (all are windows 7 pro 64bit/autocad 2014-english)
    Software configuration:
    Windows 7 64-bit professional SP1 – English
    Autocad 2014 : Autocad architecture SP1 version l.108.0.0 – English
    Illustrator CC : illustrator CC  (64-bit) version 17.1.0 - english

  • Saving Layer setup for CAD dwg files

    I am using Illustrator CS4. I have a number of maps in CAD dwg as line drawings using layers such as Background, Building, Building_Number _Bubble and many more. I can bring the dwg file into Illustrator and set up colours for the different layers, fill the polygons, set the order (which layer prints on top of which layer) etc.
    Can I save the layer setup and apply it to the next map which has the same layers but shows a different location?  If so how do I do it?
    The result I want is to open the next dwg map in Illustrator and have all the layers appear the same as they did in the first map without resetting each layer individually.

    You can use your first file as a template to make a file with Layers in the order and name you want. Make sure that Paste Remembers Layers is checked in the Layer flyout menu. Then just copy the original file. Paste into a new file, select all and delete. Then copy and paste from the second and ensuing files into each new file on the appropriate layer. They'll probably come in on Layer 1. Drag the colored square at the right of the layer (making sure it is a large square) to the layer you want.

  • Default open dwg files in Illustrator CS6

    I frequently use dwg files in Adobe Illustrator, so I set dwg files default program to Illustrator CS5.
    We recently upgraded to CS6 and when I opened it, it didn’t update the default program. I tried using the “open with” menu. Illustrator CS6 doesn’t show as one of the options, so I browsed for it, selected it, clicked ok. The dialog box closed, but CS6 wasn’t added to the menu. I received the same results using “Associate a file type with a program” in the Control panel.
    Any ideas how to make Illustrator my default program for dwg files?
    Thanks

    It is not related to Creative cloud but a OS specific issue. You didn't mentioned the OS but I pressume it is Windows because we have seen this on Windows.
    Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.
    Mine is set in top right to 'View by' Category. I clicked on Programs (green link).
    Under Default Programs I clicked on the blue link for 'Make a file type always open in a specific program'.
    Wait for 'Loading..'. to finish. Make sure the list is sorted by Name and scroll down to '.dwg'. Select it and click the button for 'Change program...'.
    Do no see Firworks listed in the Recommended Programs, so click on the small triangle to the right of Other Programs. Select Fireworks and click the OK button.
    Wait for the list to reload and confirm the association changed.
    Hope this helps !!

  • Dwg files are not being recognized in Adobe Ilustrator CS6

    I have  a client that recently upgraded to Adobe Illustrator CS6 ver 16.0.0.0 and cannot open dwg files through the application. Has  anyone seen this issue or have a fix?
    Thank you

    DWG files from where? Using what DWG format/ flavor? What system? What else? You need to be much more specific.

  • Dots are appearing on characters after created PDF through *.dwg file using AutoVue API

    Hi,
       I created PDF's through *.dwg file using AutoVue API 20.2.2. I observed in more zoom of PDF, every character or line has dots. At the same time on second page of PDF drawing lines are thicker that first page of PDF.
       Please kindly help on this, how to remove dots and drawing lines are published same as on first page.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    As with any format that does not support zoomable line thickness, the output is dpi dependent
    Imagine the DPI impact on a PDF is similar to the DPI on an image, except you can zoom into the lines, they look smooth (it is vector) but the position for the specific points is not as accurate as it should
    So it all boils down to how are you generating the PDF?
