None of the above seems to solve the issueĪre the other ways we can look into cleaning up the lines/text of the imported files? We also make the effort in exploding all the symbols and groups. We do make the effort in importing the DWGs into a blank file, and at the time of import, we add a prefix to the file eg. Yes I am talking about a direct import of a DWG file into a VW file. You may want to turn of class/layer name1 for the first imported dwg file but not for the second imported dwg file. This will be useful if multiple dwg files have the same names for layers/classes but with different kind of content. dwg1, dwg2, main plan, interior plan or whatever is meaningful so that you can switch dwg classes on/of for each imported dwg file.

One suggestion for importing dwg files, use the prefix option when importing dwg files by assigning a prefix to each imported dwg file, e.g. In that case you'll need to either fix the dwg file by making sure it is rotated correctly in there before import, or as import it in a blank VW file, fix everything as needed and then reference to that file from your main drawing. If the latter then this could explain the rotation issue as the reference gets reloaded based on the original settings. When you say import, are you talking about a full import as talking about or as a referenced drawing (i.e.

Would be interested to hear if anyone else have also experienced this, and have any tricks up their sleeves they can suggest! We have tried ungrouping the polygons, exploding the symbol, and putting the lines into new classes, to no avail.Īdditional to this issue is the fact that once the polygons have been regrouped, when we double click into edit the group, all of the lines are suddenly locked and we cannot edit anything unless we ungroup it again. This is a real problem for us, because a lot of time is spent having to re do things. The next day when we re open the file, the DWG will have rotated itself back to its original state. When we import these DWG into our drawings, rotate it and move it to where we want it, then we are done for the day, we save the file and shut down. The dwg file is likely to have been created from a programme other than VW.

All of the staff in our office is encountering this issue, when we import dwgs from a supplier to the VW file.
