Colors will likely shift and text may move around on you. Once the data is in Illustrator your layers from the DWG/DXF file shall be intact. A simple choice is to select Fitting (see above) which lets CADgate automatically fit the data to the page size. Because Autocad uses 'real word' scale and your AEC documents most often do not (such as 1/4" = 1 foot) you need to have the scale setting correctly established or you may lose your data (actually the data does not appear but is safe on the original file). Selecting it generates this dialog where you need to determine the scale and units for the new document being created. ![]() To import an Autocad file directly into Adobe Illustrator 8.0 you simply go to File / Open and select a DWG or DXF file in the open dialog box.

This program is distributed (sold) by Hot Door but was developed by AppliCraft Co.
