    I am having trouble getting drawings form a designer. She is running
    Vectorworks 9.0 and I am running AcadLT 2004. She has sent me a dwg, a dxf,
    and just recently an esps. None of the files have opened in AutoCAD and I do
    not know whether this is a problem on my end or on her end. Any leads would
    be appreciated. I thought I used to be able to open Vectorworks files in the
    past, but I can not remember how to do it.
    I did get an error message when importing the dxf file:
    gypsy elev.dxf2.dxf is not valid DXF file
    Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

    Could this be from e-mailing and is there a better way? Thanks

    We specialize in file translations.

    If you will zip up the files, we will take a look.

    Send us the .dwg, .dxf and vectorworks file formats.

    Contact us via e-mail for file upload instructions.

    Sincerely;

  3. There lot of problems to import dxf files from Designer and visio to
    AutoCAD. The best way is maybe on Designer/Visio select all objets, and
    under AutoCAD ( >=2004 )
    do edit-> Special copy-> copy as AutoCAD entity.

    Regards,
    Olivier.
