How to import AutoCAD DXF files

This article is a stub.

DWG files can be indirectly imported into a Project, by first converting them to a DFX file (the open-standard equivalent). DXF files can then be imported directly through the Geo Data Wizard, as either features in the Current Situation, or in the Future Design.

How to import a DWG/DXF as a future plan:

1. If the filetype is currently DWG, use an AutoDesk application to open it and save/export it as DXF.
2. Open the Geo Data Wizard, which will assist with importing data.
3. When importing for the Current Situation, opt to import Constructions.
   When importing for the Future Design, opt to import Measures.
4. Select the DXF file, either as a local file on your computer or on the Geo Share.
5. etc

Notes

• When importing a DXF file, each feature will have an Attribute indicating its layer, and an attribute indicating its color. It also has an additional Attribute, in which the feature's color in the original file is translated to a Tygron Color code.
