joey_martin Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 What's not working? We would use the same software you are using. It's a pretty simple export from Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mddesign Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @pazzfam, we would use AutoCAD as well. As @joey_martin mentioned, do you know what is NOT working. I am willing to take a look at the file if you want to send it to me? Free of charge to just take a look and see what possibly might be the problem. The dwg file that is....

DRAWZILLA Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You can download "trueview", it's free and you can view any dwg to see what the conversion looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Don't convert from layout, convert from plan view. See if that fixes the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzfam Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hi Appreciate all the advice but I am an idiot Downloaded true view and what I saw on the screen all all the feet measurements were inches So I then bought BlueBeam to see if I could see if it was to scale . Did not realize bluebeam is a big program that I am not in the mood to learn I would like to pay someone to convert the plan for me if anyone is interested Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Did you export from layout or plan view? I have never had an issue when exporting from plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzfam Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I want to thank everyone for their help I changed the export to dwg to inches from feet and everything looks good And true view is helping me Thank You now figure out if I want to learn Bluebeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
