Import Shape files

[MisterJingles]

Hi guys

 

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to import shape files into Autocad LT?

 

I have tried using the freeware converters such as Cadtools but have no way of opening the avx file, also tried Import Shape from ABCAutocad but have hit a wall there too. This made me wonder if its even possible in LT.

 

I managed to install the Import Shape program but it installs a bunch of files I don't think I am able to use. It gives me the following error when I run the SCR it installs. "Command: (defun LISP command is not available."

 

Any help?

If this is a one time import get a trial version of AutoCAD MAP3D. If you need it full time then look at MapWorks from Dotsoft. Another way is google for shp to dxf converters and use a dxf file with AutoCAD LT.

.... then look at MapWorks from Dotsoft.

 

Will Mapworks run on LT?

If not, Dotsoft also has a standalone to convert shape files to DXF that can be opened in LT.
