    Is there any way to convert DWF files to DWG files?

     

    Thanks,

    There is a firm out there selling a converter: I understand their support leaves a lot to be desired. Try a Google search and see if they are still around.

     

    Have you tried just attaching a DWF inside a DWG? You just need a relatively recent version of AutoCAD or LT.

    I'm using AutoCAD 2012.

     

    How do I attach a DWF file to a DWG file?

     

    Thanks,

    In AutoCAD 2012, use DWFATTACH command.

    OK, I did that and it inserted the DWF file in to my AutoCAD drawing but everything is on "Layer 0".

     

    I guess I should be glad that I can insert the DWF drawing, is there anyway to import the layers?

     

    Thanks,

    Look up and use DWFLAYERS or ULAYERS commands.
