****************************************
Importing and exporting DWG with Blender
****************************************

Be sure to read the general :ref:`installation <installation-dwg>` 
instructions of the ar library. Do not expect perfect results, but
in general export will work better than import

Import
======

From the menu choose::

    File > Import > EveryDwg (.dwg;.dxf)...
    
.. image:: images/dwg_import_menu.jpg

A file window will ask for the filename to be imported.

Then proceed like you would do for 
`dxf import <http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:Py/Scripts/Manual/Import/DXF-3D>`_.

Export
======

From the menu choose::

    File > Export > EveryDwg (.dwg;.dxf)...
    
.. image:: images/dwg_export_menu.jpg

A file window will ask for a filename. Give it a ``.dwg`` or ``.dxf`` 
extension.

Afterwards you will get a menu with all possible dwg or dxf versions.

Then proceed like you would do for 
`dxf export <http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:Py/Scripts/Manual/Export/DXF>`_.
