Importing and Exporting Files

You can import and export data from other DoubleCAD formats, as well as formats of other CAD systems.
To import from another file type:

1. Select File / Open or Ctrl+O.
2. Under Files of type, select the format you want to import.
3. If you want to specify conversion parameters, click Setup.
4. Browse to the file, and double-click it or click Open.

To export to another file type:

1. Select File / Save As.
2. Under Save as type, select the format to which you want to export.
3. If you want to specify conversion parameters, click Setup.
4. Browse to the folder and assign a file name.

To import or export only certain components of a file, use File / Extract From or Extract To. For example, you can choose to import a drawing's layers and blocks, or export only print styles.
To insert the contents of another file as a block, create an external reference (xref). See External References.
