bthompson Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm using X15 and have a completed drawing set that I'm sending to my draftsman and engineer. He is able to get the .dwg files and use them in CAD (they have 3 different versions). When he sends the file to his layout in CAD, lines get heavy, measurements are covered up and all kinds of problems emerge. Has anyone had these types of issues converting CA files to CAD for printing and any solutions? Thanks, Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 A few suggestions... What kind of line weights are being used in the .dwg file? On average, anything in the 18 - 25 range is good. What output for the export is being used? Is it in inches or feet? That could explain the variation in line heaviness. Not sure. Lastly... The issue is not all that common. If for some reason, exporting as a newer version of AutoCad is an X-15 quirk, then "back dating" the export file could be a possible solution. Try sending the .dwg as an older release of Auto Cad. Like early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
