Can i convert a dxf fill that started as a chief file back to a chief file?

[twitchie]

I have a DFX file sent to me by an architect who uses chief architect. For reasons beyond my control, I can not get the original files from the architect. Is there a simple way to convert the file back to a chief architect file?

no

The original Chief Plan probably has things in it that the Architect doesn't want to give away. (Symbols, Macros, etc).  While you can import the DXF into your own Chief Plan, it will not be the same as the original Chief Plan.  The DXF simply doesn't contain all the Chief Plan intelligence.

Just keep the DXF in the background and trace it.
