DWG Shape entity?
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:03 am
I am trying to import an acadders survey drawing which contains trees which are listed as a "shape'.
For some reason these "shapes" (trees) are not importing into Dcad (13 or 14).
I have tried exporting the drawing from Acad as various versions of dwg files as well as dxf and still the trees don't import into Dcad.
Can anyone shed any light?
In Acad the trees are on varying layers, but when I check those layers in the Dcad layer manager after the import those layers are listed as "0" entities or empty.
I always thought (maybe mistakenly) that a shape was some type of font file? Or is a shape entity different to a "shp" entity?
Any help will be appreciated as my client tells me that the location of these trees are critical to the design.
