DDScad 17 Map DWG/DXF object to intelligent DDS-CAD objects

Meernoek — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 22:20:36 GMT

Hello,

there is this option to Map DWG/DXF object to intelligent DDS-CAD objects.

I did everything according to this The_DDS-CAD_technical_telegram_-_Issue_9.pdf

However the new objects are still not visible after "Apply changes made in
symbol mapping”

What did I do wrong?

Please help!

Thank you!

p.s. The goel is to import a DWG. what was exported from DDScad. But we cannot get the original DDScad folder, because the company refuses to give it to us. But with a DWG work is limited in DDScad.

There is this option to read the blocks of AutoCAD (what DDScad made), as DDScad objects, but still it doesn't work.

I would be satisfied with any solution what enables our partners to send us data, what we can easily use in DDScad without sending their whole Project folder.

Hello @Meernoek

All of these forums are for Archicad. Some time in the future, there is likely to be one for DDScad, but there is none at the moment. Sadly, in searching, I could not find any other platform that hosts discussions of DDScad, but if you know of one, that would be the place to ask this question.

This collaboration forum is the closest thing we have here... but it would be for topics related to Archicad data exchange with DDScad ... not issues with DDScad itself.

Hello!

Thank you very much for the answer.

I have called the German Support once, but they said, that our support period (1 year) is over.

And we need to buy version 18 (we have 17) in order to have 1 year support again.

Is this true?

Thank you!
