dwbates Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have dwf files that I would like to manipulate in AutoCAD? Can this be done in AutoCAD or do I need another software to accomplish this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I believe they are read-only, for documentation purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have dwf files that I would like to manipulate in AutoCAD?Can this be done in AutoCAD or do I need another software to accomplish this? A dwf is treated as a raster image in AutoCad. It is pretty much just an underlay image. It is a read-only reference file like a pdf. It can be converted, by various 3rd party programs but the results are often poorer than a pdf conversion. Is it possible for you to get the original dwg file or even a dxf file of the drawing?

resullins Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 There are programs that will convert them for you. I've had some good luck with AutoDWG. It's not too expensive. That would always be my last resort though, if you really can't get a hold of the real files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
