I am trying to import a cad file for a window section, the original file didnt have a brick mold but the new one has a brick mold.

Whenever i try to import cad file into chief i get the old sections, can anyone see if they can import and get the correct sections?

 

This is what i want

Hi Eric, when you import them to chief is it this way as well?

 

I wonder why my imports are wrong?  I think its using an old block name from the first cad drawing i had that didnt have brick molds on.

But i have told chief to import new blocks?

 

Can you save in a chief file and upload?

I think what you need is the ability to export as a PDF which my DWG viewer won't do. Perhaps someone with a full version of AutoCAD can accomplish this.
