Using Background Drawings

Import CAD Drawing

Diagrams relies on the standard Visio function Import CAD Drawing for importing background drawings. This means that the process is the following:

1.

Export the background drawing from Marine Drafting using the Export > DXF function, having a format that is compatible with the used MS Visio version, for stance R12 DXF*.

1.

Import the drawing using the Insert Tab > Illustration > CAD Drawing command in Diagrams.

*As the support for drawing formats and versions changes with new releases of Marine Drafting and MS Visio, it is recommended that the user will make some tests and investigations using their current program versions to determine which format and version will provide the best results.

For more information about the Import CAD Drawing function, please refer to the MS Visio documentation.
