Missing fills when working on project with imported dwg file

Anonymous — Mon, 23 May 2016 00:27:31 GMT

Hello guys,
I've started some conceptual work by simply dropping dwg file into Archicad, now I have a bit of content in the file I found out that I can't use any fills embedded in Archicad, there are only solid fills, also the pen set is very poor.
Is there any way to quickly restore natural Archicad work environment?
Or is there way to copy all of the file content to another, new file with default preset?

Maciek:

One option is to use Attribute Manager to transfer any attributes (Fills, Line Types, etc.) from a standard file to your working file. Open the working file, open Attribute Manager and open any standard file to access these attributes.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
