    Default Importing Autocad File

    Hi,

    I am in desperate need of some help.
    I need to export a autocad (2004) drawing to scale into Indesign CS.
    Can this be done, if so how?

    I would be grateful if you could help me in this urgent matter.
    Many thanks.

    Either export as EPS or create a PDF. Place in ID.

    Thanks Bob.

    It appears to export but the detail of the CAD drawing doesn't seem to be clear enough in Indesign- parts of the drawing are in solid blocks or thicker lines, rather than what it should look like??

    Don't export, print to EPS or PDF from AutoCAD - you can control the
    lineweight and scale thru the plot dialog
