<p class=MsoNormal>Starting a new project in detailed data edit. The 2-D
Geometry screen is nice and empty with a toolbar with shape mode, 2-D floor
plan mode, zoom, pan, and open CAD drawing file. Every time I try to open
a CAD drawing file nothing shows up on the screen. I cannot figure out
what I am doing wrong. Does it need to be a dxf or dwg file? I am
trying dwg and no good. Grayed out are create new floor, create new
space, and create new shape. Are these buttons functional? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I currently import CAD files through the wizards. This is
wonderful, but the changeover to DD also brings heaps of unwanted clutter, not
just the traced floors and spaces. Do CAD files need to be saved to a
certain file type in order to import them to DD 2-D Geometry?<o:p></o:p></p>
