    2D Pro/E (WF 3.0) save to dwg AutoCAD 2007 - scale mm to inches proble

    We dump most 2D out of Wildfire 3.0 M090 into AutoCAD 2007 Mechanical. I have a Pro/E drawing in metric that when I save into AutoCAD, turns each mm into an inch. So I get a huge drawing in AutoCAD – a 2.5” diameter part becomes 65 inches instead of 65mm. I can scale it down in ACAD but then...

    Importing multiple File Types into AutoCAD 2007 (PDF, TIF, CGM)

    Lately, we are getting more 2D files from several different customers and vendors that are in formats; pdf, tif, cgm, etc. I need information about how to deal with these formats so that I can get the drawings into AutoCAD 2007 and add notes, balloons, etc. for our system.

    Autocad 2007 save - open to last saved in directory

    Autocad 2007 Mech., Windows XP Prof. 2002 SP2 What we had set up before in Autocad was: if you had a drawing opened and saved it, and then picked “open”, you would be in the directory where that drawing was just saved. Got a new computer - had Autocad 2007 reloaded. As it is now when “open”...

    config.pro gets saved automatically to login dir.

    I’m having a problem with Pro/E 2001 (2004290) and config.pro files. I’m running both Wildfire 3.0 and 2001 so I want to have separate config files for both. However Pro/E 2001 keeps saving a config.pro file back to the login (home) directory where it gets read by both Wildfire and 2001. Is...

    IDEAS to AutoCAD translation is poor

    We have been getting translated .dwg AutoCAD drawings from a customer who uses SDRC Ideas. The translation is horrible; dimensions especially don't translate well. Has anyone else run into this and is there a way (utility, etc.) to easily fix these drawings? Thanks.

    Try to plot all black-ACAD chgs to "none" plot style tbl

    I have saved page setup names in AutoCAD 2000 that I use to print specific sizes of drawings (A,B,C,D). All of the setups use "monochrome.ctb" for the plot style table, but when I pick the page setup that I want and do a full preview, the plot preview displays in color and the plot...
