BenDavis Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Many manufacturers post drawings of their products for download in a PDF format. Is it possible to import a PDF drawing into AutoCAD? Quote
Tankman Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Doesn't do a great job but try www.pdf2cad.com A free trial is available. The conversion will make the *.pdf file into a *.dxf file which can be worked in AutoCAD. Quote
wannabe Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Are you asking to insert the image into CAD or to convert it into a CAD document? For the former, look into inserting external references....for the latter see the post above. Quote
f700es Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Upgrade when Acad 2010 comes out. It will have support for using PDFs as reference files. 2009 has it if you have the subscription service. Quote
