For example, a circle that is completely enclosed by a viewport is converted into a Visio circle shape.

Objects and text that are cut off are converted into lines. When you convert a drawing saved in paper space, only the objects that are not cut off (clipped) by the edge of the viewport are converted into Visio shapes. Each viewport can be set to a different scale or angle.

A viewport is a window into the three-dimensional CAD drawing. The drawing contains two rectangular viewports. The following image shows a DWG drawing saved in paper space. Paper space is a workspace that is analogous to a sheet of paper, in which CAD drafters can arrange different views of the drawing. When you convert a drawing saved in model space, all objects and text on the layers you select are converted into Visio shapes. Model space is the primary drawing workspace in which CAD drafters create drawings. A CAD drawing may have been saved in model space or paper space: When you convert a drawing in DWG or DXF format, you convert the last saved spatial view of the CAD drawing. For example, you can choose to delete the converted layers, convert dimensions into dimension shapes, or convert hatch line patterns into shapes. In the Convert CAD Object dialog box, select the AutoCAD layers you want to convert into Visio shapes.Ĭlick Advanced for more options. Right-click, and then click CAD Drawing Object > Convert. Rest your cursor on the outside edge of the AutoCAD drawing until your cursor changes to this icon: Please note that converting to Visio shapes cannot be undone.Ĭlick an empty space on the diagram to deselect anything that may be already selected.
