I would like to read a dwg layout and print it to dwf.

Does somebody has an example how to fix that? :-)

Thanks!

Does "Autodesk AutoCAD DWF" writer did not worked?

It does, but only for modelspace, not for the layouts (paperspaces)

Are you able to read the contents from paper space?

Hi, yes I can read the content from the model and paperspaces. Also I can print to pdf, but I can't print a specific layout, I can only print the modelspace

When you can read then you can write as well...

Any how could you kindly send sample file to check

Hi Pratap,

See the attachments, hopefully you can do it! :-D

Hi @sprongandre,

Did you have the Paper space selected in the reader parameters? If you only want to read the A1L layout, you will want to deselect the Read Model Space parameter in the DWG Reader parameters (also have Read model space entities through viewport deselected).

I have attached a sample workspace that writes to PDF - hope that helps: DWG_Layout_to_PDF.fmwt
