Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
If my husband wasn't asleep right now I'd ask him but you're about a half an
hour too late for that. Can you convert that .dxf file to something else? Can you get the drawing in another format? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "George626" wrote in message ... Is there a way to bring in a drawing tht is in a DXF format into Word2003 |

Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
Word 97 was the last Word version that included the AutoCAD
Format 2-D graphics filter (dxfimp32.flt), which supports all AutoCAD versions through Release 12 including AutoCAD for Windows. The .dxf filter is no longer available for download from the Microsoft website, but you can download it from Word MVP Graham Mayor's website http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm .

If you still need help, let me know. Keith is downstairs and I can ask him
for suggestions. He did say that you could copy and paste the .dwg right into Word, if that helps. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "George626" wrote in message ...

Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
It is working
I installed the filter and it works GREAT. Super, gee Darn Gosh Good Gollie. Thanks for the help. Now all I have to figure out is how to bring in A dxf that was drawn in Autocad Rel 13, 14 or 2000. It brings in the older DXF format Rel 12 but I am still a happy camper. Thanks for every ones help.

Am I correct in assuming you do not have AutoCAD on your computer?

Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
Correct that I do not have AutoCAD on my computer.
I use Mastercam CAD CAM CNC Software to design and make codes so that a CNC Machine will do the operations rather than figuring out all the moves of the machine. It has over 14 translators that it will import and export and works fine. But in the past when using Word 97 I took in the DXF that was generated from Mstercam into MS Word 97. Worked flawless. I know the present translators that Mastercam will export a AutoCAD drawing is a DWG or a DXF. But the onlu options are for a DXF are REl 12, 13 and ACAD 2000. I might just have to ask Mastercam if the old translator is still available. What I have done in the past is write tutorials on the subject for my classes in CAD CAM CNC as a hard copy and it works fine. I have been doing Video Tutorials with Voice overs and it works SUPER. I use Word 2003 to write my script and include it with the Video so the student in addition to a voice and picture on there screen have the hard copy to follow the script and important notes. It might seem redundant but If a person sees a Video and hears the voice commands they remember some but not all. Including the hard copy they remember about 25% more. If anyone is interested in what I am doing send me an email direct to or look at www.cadcamcnc.com Thje web site is under Major Surgery as I am just to busy to keep up with it. Thank you for everones help, it is greatly appreciated.

Tell you what you need to check out - SnagIt!
http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp Stop messing with .dxf files, etc. SnagIt is like a beefed up screen shot plus. They have a trial version and it's only $40.

Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
I am using Snagit and their Cam Stuido for several years.
Great products and I am a happy camper with there products. But when You capture what I am doing it captures the whole screen with the dark bgackround. All I want is to convert a DFX drawing as a line drawing; nothing else. It is not worth to change the parameters in my program so I have a whit e backround and black lines as a drawing. All I need is a plain and simple DXF line drawing. Maybe AutoCAD has older DXF formats that I can use.

Can I import in a DXF drawing into Word 2003
Pro/blem is the Current last two versions only export as REL 13, 14 or
AutoCAD 2000 Mastercaam does not have the rel 12 DXF export in theri current versions. I went back after and someone said to use snagit which I have and found I can use the screen capture and use the fill to chage colors in the backround; to have a white backround. Not a problem just an extra click or two to get it done.
