Exporting CAD text to SKETCHUP..??
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 6:39 am
To all,
I'm beginning to use SKETCHUP PRO 2013 more often these days with DATACAD, i.e. DC for everyday 2D & SU for 3D. However having said that, I also use the imported DC 2D elements as in part of the final plans in SKETCHUP LAYOUT, as I don't need to always produce all of the existing building in 3D, especially when I have projects for extensions to properties that are only small in scale to the main part of the building.
Anyway DC text or any CAD text for that matter can't be imported into SU as part of the imported DWG file for some reason. This would be very handy & time saving if it could in the future, but in the meantime I was wondering if DC could explode text into lines & arcs, then you could import the text with your DWG file. I think I've seen something like this before somewhere, perhaps not DC, but the results made the text look like it was written with your left foot..
Just a thought..!!!
Over & out,
Clayton.
