Loading layer lineweights from autocad created file

Post by Peter77 » Thu May 14, 2020 10:07 am

Hello,

Opening a autocad2010 version drawing with several layers, all the layer lineweights are set to default in Qcad. So I have to manually change that every time opening a new drawing from a autocad created. Evenso if I saved the file with changed lineweights in the layers, and someone else open the file with autocad again the lineweights are also lost and not printed.
The question is how can qcad remain (take over) the lineweights from an autocad created file...? And how can I save my file correctly so that my qcad file contains the right lineweights for autocad for my colleques who unfortunately not understand the force of Qcad ;) Regards Peter

Hi,

do you "Open" or "Import" the AC drawing?

Please attach an example AC drawing which has definitive different line weights for the layer. Thanks.
