Solved the issue of the CAD to walls when importing a DXF file. First, you need to save the file from the moasure LX1 app into your PC, laptop etc. Just email it to yourself. Save it in a file. Open a new plan and set your Defaults and layers. Import the DXF as a CAD Block. Explode the CAD block and then Explode the walls. Click CAD to walls and select the dialogue boxes Make Walls, Doors, windows etc. Accept. The plan will show misaligned walls but simple click fixes. Do a camera view. Walls are there. No more tracing over the lines.

Oh and good luck trying to import directly into CA you have to download and save the file then import it

I just received the LX1 and went through the set up and did a practice, Measures accurately and creates the floor plan. I only did a basic room rectangle. Export the file and saved on my laptop. Opened CA X17 and imported the file. Spent hours with Chat GPT and on-line searches trying to get CA to build walls floor plan etc. Nothing. The polylines in the import are not closed. No room polylines can be created. No CAD to walls will work. Chat GPT took me through every possibility of getting CA to use the DWG nothing worked. The only solution I had was to trace over the DWG with selected walls and try to get the snap functions to be accurate. They are not. I have emailed Moasure support for their immediate fix or a refund. I have attached the file I was trying to work with. learn 1.dwg

Has anyone found an AC software that is compatible with CA for Load and Energy calculations required by local building departments for residential additions and remodels?
