  DWG/DXF C4d 10 (Architectural Edition)

  Posted by Bryan Richards on July 20, 2007 at 12:47 pm

  Hi guys,
  How do i import a dwg/dxf into the plan of cinema? When i import a DXF i get the same random polygons no matter what .dxf i import. If you cannot do this then what would it take to be able to trace a plan in cinema. The plan is an 1:1250 OS map

  thanks

  Have you tried playing with the dxf preferences in Cinema? Is “2D Elements” checked? Was the file exported with polylines?

  If you can’t get it to work you might see if you can get the file in Illustrator 8 or EPS format.

  Hi, thanks for the reply Adam,

  Ive played with each option in Preferences > DXF Import > , yes it is now importing 2d lines (which are polylines as far as im aware) with a few polygons but again inconsistent with what is being imported. I get, no matter what dxf I drafg into Cinema, a series of dense squiggly lines, some clover shaped, some a series of straight lines on a slight curve and most very random.

  Unfortunately EPS is not an option as we do not have Illustrator installed in the office, so any more ideas??

  The goal is to get my PDF or DWG into Cinema for me to trace off

  Kind Regards
  Bryan Richards
