Hi,
I have some lost CAD files. All we have are pdfs of the drawings. Sometimes we just need to make a small change to the drawing. For example just some text to the drawing.
Is there a program to convert the pdf file to format that I can import into NX? I have seen some programs that convert pdfs to dxf but when you import a DXF into NX things like the fonts of the dimensions get messy and need to be redrawn.
When I need to convert a drawing from NX to dxf I have found that exporting NX to cgm with output text set to Polyline works very well. Then import the cgm file to NX and then export to dxf.
I would like to do this from PDF to cgm to NX.
Also, DXF or DWG to cgm to NX would be nice.
Does anyone know of some software that will do this?
