Topic Title

A local millwork company has provided me with all of their millwork in a .dwg format. I would like to import those to my symbol browser to have them readily available to bring into my drawings. Is there a way that I can do multiple conversions or some way that I can transfer/convert them all to .dsf - which seems to be the format type that the symbols are saved as. Or do I need to do each one individually?

Unfortunately you have to open each DWG and save it to a DSF file. A DWG/AEC/DXF to DSF converter would be awesome!

Thats what I figured... but then again, there is so much of DataCAD that I don't use or take advantage of, I figured someone here might know.

By the way Josh.... what is the program or function you are showing there?

It was just a mock-up for this wish I made years ago.

At the very least, you would have to select the insertion point, and you will probably need to edit the colors - so an automatic process would not be feasible, really.

I agree with both of you. No matter what you would do, there would have to be some sort of adjustments that would need to be done. But half the battle would be just getting them into the symbol browser as Josh mentioned. Either that or I need to find an intern this winter or next summer. lol.
