Importing an AutoCAD® Drawing into DynaScape

DynaScape Design’s AutoCAD® import allows you to bring a .DWG or .DXF file into Design to use as a base plan or drawing. AutoCAD®’s geometry is converted to DynaScape geometry and can be deleted or edited using DynaScape’s drawing or editing tools.  This can be helpful for anyone creating a design that already has been partially drawn in AutoCAD® by an engineer or architect, i.e., Site plan, grading plan or house plan.

In order to achieve the best results, it is recommended to follow all of these steps:

1.   Import the AutoCAD® file into DynaScape.

2.   Rescale the geometry (if needed).

3.   Remove all unneeded geometry.

4.   Continue drawing.
