cduke5 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 When I am doing shop drawings I hate doing the key plans because I am just re-drawing what the architect has already drawn and then adding elevation marks. A friend told me to just do a "tiff or pdf overlay". He said bring in the floor plan as a pdf or tiff and add what I want in acad. Of course he only knew how to tell me about it, not actually do it. Is this possible in ACAD 2006? Quote
rkmcswain Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 You can import TIF images into drawings using AutoCAD 2006. They are reference files and not embedded into the DWG file. Quote
danellis Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Why not get the architects to send you their CAD files and xref those into your drawing? Since you're using a slightly old version of acadwin it's quite possible that you'll need to down-save their drawings to 2004-DWG before you can access them. Do this with TrueView (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=6703438&DCMP=ILC-DWG-PUV ) dJE Quote
