how to import vendor files into LT
(OP)
I am using LT 97 and Windows NT. I would like to import details from vendor CDs into my drawing. LT will not let me open the vendor detail .dwg details from the CD. It tells me that the file has illegal names. The manual talks about using quotation marks around the file names but after reading the manual I am still confused. Do I have to use Explore under NT to copy the files to hard disk and rename them using "" before I can drop insert them into my drawing? Thanks for your help. Jon

I don't know Vendor. Can you post an example (link). Maybe Your version is to old...?

Thanks for your help. I don't think it is an age or version issue. LT97 should read and write R14 files which most vendors use. I believe my problem is procedural. I have simply never used imported material before and believe I am just having trouble getting started. Jon

I IMPORT VENDOR DRAWINGS ALL DAY LONG USING LT. WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPORT? IF IT IS A DRAWING THEN I WOULD JUST USE THE INSERT BLOCK COMMAND OR OPEN THE DRAWING AND COPY AND PASTE IN WHAT YOU NEED. A EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO WOULD BE HELPFUL.
