CAD ADVICE

Welcome to Jim's Advice Column

Featured Dilemma:

Powerpoint Map into AutoCAD

Junior,

DO YOU KNOW OF A CONVERTER THAT WOULD CONVERT A POWERPOINT DRAWING INTO AN AUTOCAD DWG FILE?

Thanks
Your Pops

Dad,

Open the Powerpoint map in powerpoint and do a "Save as"  WMF (windows Meta file).  Open AutoCAD and use "import" to bring it into an AutoCAD drawing. Explode the map you imported and you will have entities you can work with.

Have Fun
Your Son

What a switch. I get to give my Pops advice! =o)
