Ment dwf not dxf

This task is far beneath the order of manifesting thought into a living universe, so I'll take a crack at it...

 

Simply use the ._open command, then change the "Files of type" to DXF.

 

Another option would be to use the ._insert command.

 

Hope this helps!

I don't know what you're doing wrong but I just tested the DXFOUT and DXFIN commands using AutoCAD 2011 and when I checked what I brought into my new drawing the text was not exploded and neither were any of the polylines.

ReMark - DXFOUT & DXFIN, I forgot about them! Great suggestion(s).

OH! DWF to DWG!! Now that's a horse of a different color. Why didn't you say so in the first place? LOL

I probably know more old commands than I do new commands. I got to get with the times. LOL

What software are you using to do the conversion now?

 

You do realize that in most cases a drawing converted from DWF to DWG will not be fully recoverable and some information may be lost?

 

Is there really a need to work with the entities the DWF file contains? Why not use the -DWFATTACH command and attach the file as an underlay?
