converting .dwg files

[MarkSM]

Is there a way to send a single .dwg file and includes floor plans, elevations, plot plans, etc?

I think you would have to send all that to a single page of layout and then create your .dwg file.    There may be a better way but that should do the trick.

What you are asking is a very involved action.

I'm not sure how CA could interpret all of that information and convert to model.

Rob,  No offence, but I think Mark is looking to export ( send ) a chief plan file to .dwg.  Did you interpret it the other way as an import ?

If so, then Yes you are correct, that would be quite a feat.

 

Maybe someone with a little more Auto Cad experience could comment but I believe they work on everything in the same drawing space so it would be perfectly acceptable to send a file to them that way.  Just lay everything out on a sheet of Arch E at whatever scale makes it all fit.  It would not take all that long to do from an existing layout file with copy and paste.  Just add a page and change the paper size and make the page template "None".

None taken at all Chop 

You are correct -my mistake there.

Just individually convert all the Chief files to DWG files and import all the converted files to one DWG file in AutoCAD.

 

Pretty easy actually.
