I am having trouble with the export functionality.
When i have a drawing to share / export, i click to export to DWG and when i open the file in a DWG viewer, the walls are missing. It shows the measurements but no walls...?
Also, when i save to jpeg or print to pdf, a document is saved, but it is a blank document....
What am i doing wrong?

Hello Richard

Find the viacad file on your disk and right click over the name/icon and select the "Compress" option. Then attach it to an email and send to me.

Thanks!

Hi Tim

Here is a drawing i have created this morning.

I have managed to create the doors etc, which i was having problems with.

I need to export it as a DWG and a pdf if possible but I'm struggling to do it

Cheers

Richard

>>I need to export it as a DWG and a pdf if possible but I'm struggling to do it

To export the PDF
--read file into viacad
--select File:Page Layout
--select Fit to Area

I think the problem was the drawing was outside the printable area. The above should fix that.

>>as a DWG

Repeats here, checking into. For a work around until I get a fix out
---save your file as the next step changes the object type
--explode your walls into lines
---- (select Mask :Walls, this will select just walls)
--Edit:Change Object Type ->Lines
