COMPRESSING PLUGIN FOR AUTOCAD® SOFTWARE

AUTOCAD COMPRESSING PLUGIN

For the people who are trying to convert their AutoCAD® files into Revit®, this is just the first step to making the process that much easier. Due to the fact that Revit, an Autodesk® Product, does not currently read Xclips, Blocks, Or Boundaries set in AutoCAD. You must flatten your files first.

WARNING: This plugin only works if one layer of blocks or clips are used. If multiple blocks are within other blocks, you may need to do additional editing.

  2. Open up a default AutoCAD File.
  3. Type in Ribbon Command in order to enable the Ribbon.  (Cad Command: RibbonClose later if no longer needed.)
  4. Type in NETLOAD and select the files downloaded.  (Note: It may take two or three tries before NETLOAD correctly loads in the plugin)
