DataCad to AutoCad Conversion

[jimzpe]

Has anyone taken a drawing done with DataCad (software used by my contract draftsman) and converted it to AutoCad (software I use)? Seem to be having dificult time with random color changes, text heights, etc. A clean conversion is probably not possible but it has to be better than what I'm getting now. Release numbers probably not important but they're; DataCad 10 & AutoCad 2000i LT

I have never heard of DataCad. Usually you need to look at the DXF output map settings.

My own experience is that IGES is about the only format that most programs can even do half-way reliably.
