DataCAD to AutoCAD

Any of you program DataCAD also?
My files are in DataCAD 10 format
and all objects exports fine to dxf except
the text objects which are needed. No
error when importing the dxf to AutoCAD
the text just doesn't show up.

If interested I will send you the file,
and gladly pay for the code.

Thanks,
Paul

 

Hi Paul,

If the files are not in binary format we may be able to do this. Do you
have any documentation on their format?

Can you tell us a little more about DataCAD and specify exactly what you
need.

Write directly to me at the address you can get from our web site.

Paul,

Try this..

Change any of the following fonts to something else.

SIMPLEX
ROMANS
ROMANC

Check also to be sure that dashed, dot-dash, and dotted lines transfer.

Good luck,

I have similar problems exporting from SoftPlan. The text comes in with the
rotation in degrees. So If I proces the DXF ile and convert the rotations to
radians the text comes in right.

Not that this solves your problems

Thanks Guys. Couldn't get it to work.
Ended up exporting the values in Data
CAD to a database then writing the text
to the proper pline in AutoCAD.

Just a tempory work around, until Data
CAD is phased out. Soon...
