Re: DWG Files
I looked at the file types for Aspire and dwg is one that you can use Open an existing file to bring it directly into Aspire.
Re: DWG Files
Ah...I see that now. Thank you for your help. I'm new to Aspire and CNC'ing. I'm looking to import some plans for adirondack chairs. They're in DWG file format. I wanted to make sure I could use them prior to buying them.

Re: DWG Files
There are different version numbers for the .dwg format. I'm not sure what the latest version is that Aspire supports.

Re: DWG Files
After import, check the sizes of the parts imported. If the original file was saved in millimeters and you're in inches (or vice versa) then you make have to resize.

Re: DWG Files
I'm using AutoCad 2018 and it imports just fine when I use the 'Import Vectors' button next to the 'save' button on the 'Drawing' menu tab. What I really like is that if I only want to bring in a certain layer or two from a more complicated AutoCad .dwg file, I just turn off the layers I don't want to import in AutoCad and re-save the .dwg. Then the 'Import Vectors' in Aspire only reads-in those layers.
