It would be great if dwg/dxf importing plugin could import UCSs as new CPlanes (or if there was some other way to retrieve them into Rhino doc).

Hi Daniel, I agree. This looks like an oversight. Thanks for letting us know. I have add this to our issue tracking system for the developers to review and hopefully implement in a future Rhino. RH-71282: AutoCAD DWG/DXF I/O Support for NamedCplanes = AutoCAD Named UCS Hopefully our DWG/DXF libr…

Perfect, thank you :slight_smile:

Sorry, this should be in a separate thread, but two more suggestions for the DWG export plugin: lock viewports in layouts if they were locked in Rhino [image] [image] option to output “linear curves” as lines, not splines (equivalent of running ````SelLines Convert``` command before saving D…

Hi Daniel, lock viewports in layouts if they were locked in Rhino I see this and will write it up. Geez, I thought we had this fixed at one point. option to output “linear curves” as lines, not splines (equivalent of running ````SelLines Convert``` command before saving DWG) This is already …

Thanks, looking forward to the future WIP releases :slight_smile: That’s true, but it seems like output of Make2D command produces curve objects instead of lines even when they are “very linear” - it hasn’t been an issue in rhino, but my impression is that when they are exported to AutoCAD they a…

[image] Daniel_Krajnik: That’s true, but it seems like output of Make2D command produces curve objects instead of lines even when they are “very linear” Use SimplifyCrv to convert those entities that are line-like or arc-like within tolerance into “real” lines/arcs. There is also a checkbox …

Thank you, i have totally missed that checkbox. You are right that turning it on solved my issue (I will bear in mind that sometimes it may be better to select them manually). EDIT: AutoCAD kept butchering the lines which were exported as splines and simplifyCrv option didn’t help prevent this beha…

I didn’t mean to make this thread a general DWG/DXF plugin wishlist, but it would be really helpful if you could please let me know if it’s possible to make the option “Color by AutoCAD index” work only when the color exactly matches the value (e.g. 255,0,0 is red index 1, but 255,0,1 would become a…
