Is it possible to change a Chief DXF file to a STEP file ?

 

Thanks

I'd try Google and see if there is a free Converter for DXF to STEP

Latest version of Turbocad Deluxe ($150) will do it. Mine is a couple of yrs old and won't (pro would). I upgrade every few years when I need newest dwg (not today). Handy to have.

FWIW- this is a staple in my toolbox.

Will open DAE files that SU refuses, then export as SU. Use it to deconstruct Chief Symbols, import and export/convert a large number of formats. I eventually got the plugin for 3D pdfs which occasionally are helpful. I end up using it at least a dozen times a year which saves the cost compared to the time searching for something that may or may not work or exist. My only complaint is that it uses Redsdk drivers it uses are always behind the real world.

Thanks Again Mark,

 

I'll look into it. This client may share the cost,he is the first one I've had in a while that wants more than the bare minimum to get permits.

 

Your time is much appreciated,Ken
