i would like to have my drawing the way they are displayed in LO. But once it is exported as a dwg in autocad.
- it has a black background
- text and lines are not visible
i need my drawings scaled, so inserting as an image is not an option
SketchUp and LO do NOT include a background in an exported ‘geometry’ format file.
However, you can always adjust your AutoCAD settings to use whatever background color you want - change for both the Layout[PaperSpace] and Model…
Tools >> Options >> Display >> Colors.
That way it can appear just as it does in SketchUp/LO.
You can also change the color of the Layer[s] containing the Text/Lines in SketchUp etc - typically Layer0 in SketchUp [becomes Layer ‘0’ in AutoCAD] - so if it’s black in SketchUp consider changing it to ‘gray’.
But again you can use AutoCAD’s Layer Manager and reset the Layer colors there - e.g. to contrast with the background - black/white being the obvious choices…
AutoCAD should be clever enough to spot if the background and Layer 0 are the same - e.g. both ‘black’ and display the Layer color as ‘white’…
Hi TIG, what i meant was the images that came from LO displays with a dark background, even if the settings in autocad was to display white background.
The images in LO displayed with no background, autocad does. Any setting i have to do?
Is that a screen shot from AutoCAD ?
If so then change the Model space settings to have a white background - As I linked to earlier…
If it’s a screen shot from Layout then what are your settings of the viewport[s] ?
Are you exporting the DWG as vector ?
