I don't know what to tell you Kleo - maybe try it again?

It's quite straightforward, but you may have to play around with the translator settings to have text, fills, & splines to appear correctly.

Not sure if figures, drawings, hotspots, S/E's or cameras are translated though.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Maybe your objects in autocad are made from solids? In this case, you get blank in ArchiCAD. I think you have to save them in 3DS in autocad, to be able to import in Archicad.

Another way is also possible. Open your DWG in Google Sketchup, save it and then import in ArchiCAD via Sketchup plugin. Hope it helps.

hello to all!

I think I found out something that nobody told me:

ArchiCAD can't open DWG file made in AutoCAD later than 2000. So, I think that file in AutoCAD should be saved as in AutoCAD 2000.

And than I will SEE dwg file in ArchiCAD and than I can make it .gsm file.

what do you say?

thank to all.

Archicad 10 can open AutoCAD 2006 DWG files at least, not sure about 2007.

Have not tried '07 but in theory it shouldn't since the dwg format changed (as they always do every 3 releases) and anyway R2008 is just around the corner. If you can't open them you can use these free utilities.
