PDFs files are the quickest way to send projects to clients. over time it can
happen that you lost original DWG files, so to have them back you will have to
use a third party software. not anymore, you can convert PDF to DWG file
inside AutoCAD. let me introduce you PDF to DWG command. so let's use it.
simply click on the PDF you want to convert to AutoCAD file and done!
...
wouldn't be life easier if we could resolve anything with just a single click?
check AutoCAD Macros for Automatic Drawings series on video description.
ok, it's time to create your awesome tool. to do this, let's type cui and enter.
this will open autocad customizable user interface. to create a new command
in autocad, we can duplicate any of the existing commands, rename it,
and change its macro
so, let's quickly explain this macro. first, we'll use CC to cancel any running commands
second, we'll start the PDF import command. third, slash to pass for
user input, so you can select your PDF to convert.
fourth, we'll say ALL to select area to be imported. fifth, will use detach
to detach PDF underlay. now, to use our AutoCAD command and have it always available
I'll add it to my AutoCAD quick access panel. if you prefer to have them
in your AutoCAD ribbon or tool palette, I'll leave links on video description
before testing your new AutoCAD command, and as a way to thank you
for your support, when reaching 500 subscribers, I will be releasing
a super autocut tool here on youtube. Be sure to be subscribed and have the belt on

to DWG command
