Hi Gary

I don't see how you might do that automatically, when you bring in an AutoCAD drawing into Cadvance the line thickness are stripped from the dwg file. So I'm guessing there is not a way to control this the otherway i.e. Cadvance into AutoCAD

One way around it is to have a minimal layer set up i.e.

P_0.13_Dark_Grey
P_0.15_Red
P_0.18_Light_Grey
P_0.25_Cyan
P_0.25_White
P_0.35_Green
P_0.35_Yellow
P_0.50_Blue
P_0.70_Magenta

Thus you use the 9 basic colours in both products, you define the line thickness in the layer table in both products.

The figures are pen thickness in mm or can be a multiplication factor when setting the default line weight.

I am having problems translating from VWF to DWG symbols that have more than 2 nesting levels. Items nested more than 2 levels don't even show up after the translation or they come in rotated all funny. I am experiencing this problem with V12.

I am currently using Cadvance Lite 2000. I'm trying to save a .vwf as a .dwg and keep the assigned line weights and types. However, when I do the "save as" to .dwg, all of the line weights are the same. Is there a way I can keep these line weights when I'm saving to a .dwg?
