I added dimensions to a drawing in AutoCAD, but they are not coming through in Pkg. What can I do to fix this?
- You first need to explode your drawing before you DXFOUT the drawing, this will enable you to see the dimensions of the drawing when you import it into Pkg. If you are using AutoCAD, select all objects then type EXPLODE on the command line, then type DXFOUT. You can then name and place the file.
