Claris CAD: CGT Issue With AutoCAD DXF Files

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
When Claris Graphics Translator translates a DXF file from AutoCAD sometimes difficulties can arise.

1. Make a back-up copy of your AutoCAD .DWG file.

2. In AutoCAD do the following.

3. Use the command Handles and type in "destroy" and Autocad will come with a message that gives you the opportunity to destroy all handles. (Note: The Handles function is equivalent to Claris CADs' "object data".) This message will be unique every time that you use the "destroy" option. There will be a phrase in quotes that you must type in to verify destruction.

4. Bring this new file to Claris Graphics Translator and translate the file.
