gsksun4 10 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I recieved some .DXF files from a customer instead of .DWG files. Can I change them into .DWG files to work on them? Glenn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger 11 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You can open DXF from within AutoCAD (just change the Files of Type at the bottom of the Open-window) and then Save As a DWG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hotrodz0321 10 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 you can open them up like a dwg....just double click them and open them up... or go to file > open....then at the bottom where it says "files of type:" go to the one that says dxf...you can then select the dxf's and open them Edit: sorry...Tiger beat me to it.

CADken 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 ah, good old .dxf files... you should be able to open them (by double clicking on them, as mentioned above) and just re-save them as a newer version. we use .dxf files for photometric readings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have my default to always save as a *.dwg file, vs 2000, by request. Too many times, I have to call or email my customer(s) 'cause I currently use vs. '05 and/or '07. "Please save to an earlier version, I don't have '08 or '09. Sorry." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
