Opening DWF files in archicad

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have been recently working with archicad after having worked with Autocad.

Therefore I have many dwf files created in Autocad that I wish to open in Archicad. Is this possible? I tried to open one and it shows as being blank.

If someone could help me I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

My colleague is trying to open 3d DWF shop drawing files from steel fabricator to check against our model.

In AC11 we try File> File Special> Merge and select the file - nothing happens.

In AC15 using File> File Special> Merge we get the error message below.

Any suggestions please? They have suggested we download Design Review from Autodesk, but that hasn't worked either - not Mac compatible.

And years later we still have this problem. Trying to open a DWF with Archicad 26 and I get the same error message. 6.2 not supported... 😞
