Thank you Klaus Yes, I had already found this page on your website when I googled around for "import dwg in FrameMaker". And "severe problems" is what I would try to avoid, so I think I'll stick with exporting the AutoCad drawings to PDF (or SVG) and import those in Fm. Thanks! -- Yves Barbion

No, that won't work. BUT, AutoCad can export EPS files which import and print extremely well. That's the method I always use. Bill On 8/17/2016 3:48 AM, Yves Barbion wrote: Hi group Has anyone ever succeeded in importing AutoCad .dwg files into FrameMaker? I've tested this with several versi
