Re: Problem Exploding Blocks (from an ACAD DWG).



The part as you call it is in fact a plant layout - and yes I can
rotate it - but it's only a 2D drawing (there are no 3D features) just
lines, curves, annotations and blocks.

My client needs to add his tuppence worth (pipe routings) so he can
manufacture then install them.

In model view is the part 3D? see if u can rotate it

Depending on what do u need to correct in this file you may ask for a different format

Hi,
I have just got some ACAD DWG files from a client that i need to
import & edit.

The problem I am having is exploding the blocks.

I have tried importing directly into SWX 2007 - this was not
successful as a large number of entities would not import.

I have tried opening with DWG editor 2008 and the file imports without
any issues however, it shows 2 tabs - model and layout1, I can explode
the blocks in the model view but not in the layout view?
The consequence is that i cannot pick single entities in the layout to
edit.

Any Ideas welcome!

Thanks,

Kev
