Hi DataCad cognoscenti,
I'm trying to import a site plan, and the surveyor sent me a 'dumbed down' version that shows the contours when viewed in AutoCad TrueView (but only after he dumbed down the file, but I digress... grrrr). Anyway, when I import the dumbed file, the contours disappear, and the layers with "contour" names have nothing on them.
Using Trueview, I can see the contours are really floating like a cloud above the plan (see images below) but they don't import. I'm thinking many of you know a lot more about this than I do, and perhaps someone knows how to deal with this. Or advise me to give up hope (hope being the most insidious of all evils, and the one left in Pandora's box) and turn to drink.
