Importing notes from AutoCAD to layout sheet

[capitaldesigns 3]

I am setting up my layout sheet in Chief. I wanted to import my typical notes from AutoCAD into a default layout sheet in Chief.

I tried to import the DWG file in the layout page but the option for importing DWG files is grayed out.

 

What is the best way to get the DWG file into the layout sheet ?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Import into plan first, explode cad. Copy note. On layout open text dbx , paste .....

You can't import dwg in layout only plan.

Thanks for your help. That worked perfectly.

You can also add it to your user lib. and get it whenever you want, but save it from the layout to the lib. so it's scaled correctly.
