The Vectorworks program imports versions 2.5 through 2018 of DWG and text and binary DXF. Additionally, DWF files of the format .dwf (3D DWF), .dwfx (DWFx), and .w2d (DWF 2D sheet) can be imported. Before import, the following steps are recommended to increase the likelihood of a satisfactory translation:
● Read DXF/DWG and DWF File Import for more information about the differences between the DXF/DWG and DWF formats and Vectorworks file formats.
● It is not necessary to explode the entire drawing in AutoCAD before importing. If a file is not importing correctly, try exploding individual problem objects before import.
● If importing files which contain transparent PNG images, try importing in DXF/DWG format instead of DWG format for best results.
● If possible, communicate with the file originator. Determine the intended units, page size, and scale of the file, along with the intended color-to-line weight mapping, if any.
