Hello All
Can you please help, I am looking to convert linked CAD file to GDL (ArchiCAD library object). I have several other files similar to the linked one that I will have to convert to GDL. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Dragan

One procedure to try:

Import DWG in AC
Explode DWG
Select lines and Convert to Morph
Select Morph Lines and File->Libraries and Objects -> Save selection As

-----
this is provided that you want to convert 2D lines to 2D Object.
