DXF/DWG -> WSCAD 

Importing a DXF/DWG file into a WSCAD drawing

A DXF/DWG file is changed into a WSCAD drawing. Only basic elements of the DXF/DWG format are transferred because of the complexity of the DXF/DWG format and because the information cannot be used by the automatic functions.

Flow

Invoke menu File/Import/DXF or DWG. Define the WSCAD file to be created.

Select the DXF/DWG file (preview). The import factors must then be adjusted.

Importing several DXF/DWG files into several WSCAD drawings 

In order to do this, start the DXF/DWG Import as above but in this case you must name the DXF/DWG files in a certain way so that the multi-import function can operate. The filenames must be displayed with an underscore and a serial number with the extension DXF/DWG. The files must be located in one directory.

Select the first DXF/DWG file.

Select the WSCAD file with which the import process is to begin.

Decide on the scaling parameters (once).

• Auto-centered centers the imported file into the WSCAD sheet

• Factor scales the imported file around the entered value

• Offset shifts the graphic in X and/or Y direction by the entered value

• Text is DOS-Code for older plans needed

• Adjust all pages with multiple import one needs

• Keep page numbers the page number is like the number in the file name
  (Plan_15.dwg => Plan.0015)

All DXF/DWG files will then be imported.
