how do I import a 2D Autocad Drawing into Catia?
how do I import a 2D Autocad Drawing into Catia?
(OP)
I need to transfer an Autocad (2005 or earlier) 2d drawing to a customer who uses Catia V4 or V5(R?). We have tried dwg, dxf, iges step and HPGL. All failed because of the text. it ends up all over the place and not the right size.
Would any body have suggestions?
Thanks

I explode all multiline text until the text is single line. blocks that contain text need to be exploded as well.
use a font which is quite common (ie. arial). save as a dxf. before importing in Catia V5, change the settings for dxf import (tools /options ,DXF tab, text font, define, change default font)so that the default font used by Catia is the font used in the dxf. et voila! you have a Catia drawing.
