If you do not,В select Window> Fill Window from the menu to center it in the drawing area.

You should now see the drawing in the plan area.

Click Next or Continue, then click Finish/Done to close the dialog.

If you are uncertain of which unit to select, contact the person that created the drawing.

OnВ the Drawing Unit page, select the unit of measurement that was used to create the drawing from the drop-down list.

Leave the Import all layer attributes radio button selected, then click Next /Continue.

On the Layer Mapping page, select the Chief Architect layers by name radio button.

On the Select Layers page, make sure there is a check beside the name of each layer shown in the Layer Name column, then click Next /Continue.

Do not make changes to the other options on this dialog pageВ at this time, and click Next /Continue.

When the needed file is selected, click the Open button to return to the Import Drawing Assistant.

On the Select File page, click the Browse button to open the Import Drawing File dialog and select the desiredВ .dxf or.

On the Welcome page, click Next /Continue.

Start the Import Drawing Assistant by selecting File> Import> Import Drawing (DWG, DXF) from the menu.

Select File> New Plan from the menu to create a new temporary plan.

To determine which layers contain terrain information dwg file contain the needed elevation and plot data, you can import the drawing into an empty plan file to find out, following the steps below.

Importing other CAD information from the drawing.

Converting the boundary to a terrain perimeter.

Determining which layers contain the terrain information.

This article describes how to do the following:

There is no single CAD standard, and which layers the different data is on is determined by the drafts person that created the drawing.

These different types of data must each be imported separately, which means that you will need to import your drawing several times. Terrain drawings typically contain several types of data, specifically boundary data, elevation data and CAD data. Importing terrain information from a CAD drawingВ file is a straight-forward task in Chief Architect but requires a knowledge of what layers were used when the drawing was created and which layers contain the dataВ that you need. I have a DWG file containing terrain data that I received from my engineer andВ want to import this data into Chief Architect. The information in this article applies to:
