Gr8trim4u Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If it requires his input or added design, export each sheet as dxf or dwg. Male sure you know which version he is using. Ca will prompt you to what version. This saves my engineer time on drafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Ask your engineer what format he prefers. If all he wants is a pdf of the working drawings, then that's all you need to send him. If he wants a cad file, then send him a dwg with just the info he wants. My guess is that he would prefer the individual floor plans rather than the layout though. If he wants an actual model that he could play with, you could send him the plan files. If he has a version of Chief (or even just the client viewer) then he could open the plans and do what he wants with them. Here are some DWG basics; https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00013/converting-plan-files-to-dwg-or-dxf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
