    Bump for help.

    I have a complex architectural .dwg file for a really large project I'm starting work on. I have an AutoCAD account, but no software installed at the moment.

    Can someone help me convert the floorplans to PDFs in the meantime?

    • Illustrator won't open it.monospaced
    • If no one can help, download a trial copy of Rhino and convert using that (load in DWG, export as AI). probably a terrible 'solution' though, sorry! :)detritus
    • actually, discount the above - if a dwg is tricky in illy, it's invaribaly tricky in Rhino too.detritus
    • ok... I'm trying to hunt down the Fusion 360 licenses we purchased a couple years ago so I can try it outmonospaced
    • Trueview should open it and then you can print to PDF.

    • Thanks! I'm downloading Trueview now. I had been viewing in A360, but can't convert or output from there.monospaced
    • Shit, Trueview is Windows only. Can anyone perhaps handle a conversion for me if I sent a file?monospaced
