Blender 4.0: How to import any DWG?

[@slthlrdz]

nice! thanks for the tutorial. i wonder how well this works for 3D dwg files...

[@perdiccavetri8486]

Thanks for the informative video. I wander if it is possible just save a DWG file in autocad as DXF file and then import it in blender, without recurring at a specific program to make the conversion.

[@alexlototzky8909]

This method did not work for me. I tried to export DXF straight out of ACAD2020 as well but each time, Blender shows a jagged geometry that is hard tow work with . It looks as if it cannot import curves from ACAD and instead interpolates them into stepped lines. Strange because I have had success with importing ACAD files to Blender and ones quite similar to the one I am trying here, but for some reason its not working now. Could this have something to do the later version of Blender (I am using 4.2.1)

Thanks, worked almost prefectly, but the dimensions lines are not showing on blender, do you have any solution?

Hello Allan, I would like to know how you deal with the units in both programs. I work in AutoCAD in metric mm (1 meter are 1000 units) and so on. When I import to Blender (exporting from AutoCAD to DXF 2000) I see that I need to scale my drawing to make it fit the camera in blender otherwise the geometry tends to disappear from ACAD to Blender! what could be the best practice and how could the setup be in Blender in order to import or if I need to scale to .0001 so my meter is 1 (unit) instead of 1000 (units) or millimeters. Thanks in advance and Great Video.

What I usually do is to change the Blender units to match the source file. If you keep it in the default settings, it will stay in meters. If you design in AutoCAD using millimeters (mm) and draw 1 meter with 1000 units. Importing that project to Blender will convert those 1000 units to 1000 meters or 1km. Update the units in Blender before importing.

Don't forget as first step after importing, when it all is still selected, press Control A in Blender to Apply the Scale or better Apply All Transformations. So it accept the scale as original size and won't give problems later.

D double G files? What are DGG files?

[@jetw9522]

Hi, do you know if it works for AutoCAD 3D file? I mean, both converting and importing 3D furniture and building from dwg format to dxf format.

[@braccianobracciano5567]

not works

[@blender3darchitect]

The conversion doesn't work for 3D data :(

[@EddieNoorHasan]

how do you add in Community and Official addons? I believe that the main reason I don't see the addon for DXF conversion.

[@jamesriley5057]

This helped me a ton. Thanks!

[@blender3darchitect]

Glad it helped!

[@marcelcoimbra1]

Hey man, have you ever brought 3D geometry from AutoCAD to Blender? I have tried to do that for some slightly complex files and it never worked.

[@rajendrameena150]

Try "speckle"

[@harnelbearnaudlebot4341]

It doesn't work with Blender 4.3.2 :(

[@itsortegon]

Is it possible to transfer cuts from blender to autocad in 2D? Something like how you do from sketchup to autocad by passing the sections. Greetings!

Well done video, liked and subscribed.

Its not working, i cant import my dfx-files, there is no error and the file is not even showing up in the scene collection?

[@olgademidova3644]

same here

[@DarthHunter5]

@@olgademidova3644 same. Binary DXFs will throw some console errors, ASCII ones won't do anything.

I can’t find the add on. If I type dxf in search bar nothing shows up

[@abdelhamidali3440]

me too, any solution?!

[@strahuvanya]

It' s in "Get Extensions" if you're using latest blender version

[@FedePohl]

>Edit >Preferences >Get Extensions >DXF on the search

[@lucaaffatato99]

This process is much longer, blender has to read the dwg file as 3dsmax!

[@marmar22]

Thank you so much!

[@StefanoVerugi]

nice tip, thanks

[@braccianobracciano5567]

Not support 3D files...
