Import a DWG or DFX Drawing

Once you have finished customizing your 2D DWG or DXF drawing, you can do one or more of the following:

• Import the drawing as an XPS element – This is the recommended method for importing an AutoCAD drawing into the Graphics Editor. To do this, click OK. The subsection displays in the Graphics Editor as an XPS element on a graphic.
• Import a larger drawing as an Image element – This may help with system performance issues due to larger drawing files. To do this, select the Convert to check box, and select one of the following:
  NOTE: Lower image resolution results in low image quality, but better system performance, while a higher resolution results in higher image quality but slight performance degradation.
• Highest Quality Image – (16000)
• High Quality Image (8000)
• High Quality Image (6000)
• High Quality Image – (4000)
• Normal Quality Image – (2000)
• Save the drawing as a DWFx file – To do this, click Export to. The Save As dialog box displays. Enter a name and location for the new file, and click OK. The drawing is saved as a DWFx file.

NOTE: If you made any unit changes to the file, the Apply Units dialog box displays. Click Yes to apply the changes during the conversion to XPS or the save operation to a DWFx file.
