Hi all, is it Rhino.Inside.CAD is only one-way operation? Say, I can directly copy CAD lines to Rhino but I cannot do the other way round…For now I can only export the Rhino lines to dwg file then copy them to the CAD file I am working at.
If I want to achieve it should I install some plugins?
The irony is that Rhino used to be a plugin for AutoCAD not a stand along product. Rhino inside CAD would equal Rhino’s tools with AutoCAD’s (or another similar CAD’s) annotation capabilities. That would be the winning package for so many applications.
Why don’t you guys have a crack at McNeel CAD? You could use one of the existing CAD engines; a few of them are pretty good!!
Sorry, I think I was misleading… it wasn’t rhino.inside.AutoCAD. I was just talking about the direct copy and paste between Rhino 8 to AutoCAD. I found that it doesn’t work for all AutoCAD versions. It is OK when copy paste from AutoCAD to Rhino8 but when I copy curves from Rhino 8 to AutoCAD, it becomes images
That is wired… one minute ago, I can still copy paste curves to AutoCAD2024, but now, whatever I paste to AutoCAD, it just become to be an image…strange
Hi Jack -
Rhino places a DWG file on the clipboard when using Ctrl+C in Rhino when geometry is selected. When you create a circle in a new Rhino document and copy-paste that into AutoCAD, do you then get an image in AutoCAD?

But I am pretty sure I can paste some curves to autoCAD when I create these 2 file at the beginning.
It is the same CAD and same Rhino file, but just don’t why it doesn’t work now
Hi Jack -
I’m not sure what that means.
Can you post a Rhino 3dm file with a curve that does and one that doesn’t paste into AutoCAD?
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste its output here.

We have a Rhino.Inside.AutoCAD work in progress that may lead to some interesting workflows. AutoCAD - McNeel Forum
Cool, thanks Scott
