halam Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Bad idea, exploding stuff fro the source dwg. I think Sketchup is perfectly able to handle dwg files i. Either 2d or 3d. Maybe ask in the sketchup fora.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samifox Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 OK that makes sense but why do you want to take text from AC into SU? It sounded like you want to do drawing annotation in SU. its much more efficient to have your data attached to your reference so you don't need to look down to the paper while working, it also decreases room for confusion while working (3d perspective) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Can you attach of copy of the AutoCAD drawing to your next post? We need a .dwg file not an image file. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Someone might like to try to duplicate what you are doing so they would need a copy of your drawing for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samifox Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 as i said using to exp tools > explode text rescale and reposition the issued objects. as said my workaround is to plot it as PLT and then convert it back to DXF in order to bake all data as geometry export_to_skethup.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ask in the sketchup fora.. Some things it is some things it is not. Certain text, dims and hatches are not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bring in a DWG file I strip it of EVERYTHING except just the base lines I need to model off of. I also NEVER use the CAD lines. I group the entire DWG as one group and always model fresh up the lines as a guide. See attached. To me this gives me a much cleaner model.
