Importing autocad
-
I continue to struggle to bring autocad into Layout. I back save to Autocad 2010. (Is that the right version, or does earlier work better?) I am running SU 2018. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Is there a tutorial to get it to work consistently?
Also, can I bring text in from Autocad?
My workaround is to print as pdf, convert to jpg image bring it in, try to scale it close. Seems like there has to be a better way
Thanks for the help!!

What settings are you using in LO when you import the CAD file?
Have you gone through the info on this page?

Yes, I have used that page, and video by Brightman.
I have tried to insert paperspace with and without SU model reference checked.
The document I am inserting has text. Text does not come. 4 out of 5 tries I get an error, says "The following file failed to insert, naming the cad file path" -
Hmmmm...
Could you share the CAD file? Send it by PM if you don't want to make it public.
