Problem Opening .DWG

Post by Jam35 » Wed Nov 24, 2021 5:44 pm

Win 10 x64
QCAD 3.26.4

Hi.
I am unable to view contents of the attached .DWG in QCAD.
I used an online converter to .DXF and I could then open in another CAD to view the contents.
The converted .DXF also seemed ok in QCAD.
Any advise please?
Thanks.

Hi,

Seems that all drawing entities are located on Layout1.
In total 101 including 1 viewport.

Regards

File > Import imports the main drawing (Model_Space block) only (and blocks that are used by the Model_Space block).
