Does anyone have suggestions on translating large autocadd files? So far my steps are 1. save in autocadd 2010, explode all blocks, and on occasion delete all info that I do not need.
There has to be a more elegant solution.
Thanks.

I too am trying to open DXF or DWG files in Powercadd.
I know how to save them to DXF/DWG but not open those files.

If you drag the DXF or DWG file to your PC icon, they should open. If they don’t open, they are probably a newer (unsupported) version. You can use ODAFileConverter to convert those unopenable files to a supported DWG or DXF version. ODCFC is located in your OC application folder someplace (if I remember correctly). I normally convert problematic files to DXF 2010, which PC can open.

ODA File Converter is easy to use and saves DWGs etc to a format PCadd can open.
PC 9.1.11 includes ODA in the Utilities folder.
We usually select R12 Binary DXF for the output.
