Being a typical engineering office the draughting staff run AutoCAD 2006 and the engineers use a viewer for checking & redlining. The viewer we use is CADwizz Max.
Traditionally the redlined drawings are printed out the hard copies passed on to us for amending, but we want to get smarter and bring the redlining into AutoCad itself. Viewer wise it’s great, but does anyone know how to being the red lining preformed in CADwizz into an AutoCAD drawing file (2006). Cadwizz creates a file with the extension .rd9. Does anyone know if this can be imported

This is not an answer but more of a comment. We used VoloView for redlining and markup. It created a similar file type that Volo could save and Volo and AutoCAD could read. AutoCAD needed a ARX app loaded to read it though. I would guess your program would need something similar or maybe the ability to save to DXF or something like that. Can you contact the maker of this application?

Thanks for your advice on voloview. We tried it but the engineers like CADwizz Max better. We have since been in touch with the writers, the problem we are haveing is known and is currently being address, they say an upgrade is not to far away.
