AutoCad Line types to DataCad
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 2:27 pmLet just preface this inquiry with the fact that I am just starting to use DC and have only a little experience with AutoCad and I am trying to mostly self teach. So basically, I'm pretty clueless.
Right now I am trying to bring in a client's dwg file into DC. In the import there are line types in the AutoCad file that are not in my DC line types. I want the same line types on the original drawing to be in the DC drawing. If I have the AutoCad line type file (acad.lin), can I use it to import line types into the DC line types or do I have to hand draw these line types and then use the create line type command? I haven't been able to figure it out and think that there's gotta be a quicker way than hand drawing the line types I need.
Thanks.
