Hi,
I'm feeling pretty stupid here, after having searched the Microsoft
support site, poked and prodded Visio, with no success. I'm using Visio
2002.
I am trying to import DXF files with the "Convert CAD Documents" macro
in Visio 2002. These documents are single page documents, the pages are
A4 size and landscape oriented.
No matter what I do, the import puts them on portrait oriented US
Letter size pages and consequently only seems to import and convert the
shapes that'll fit on that swath of "paper" (so it is importing the
shapes themselves at the right scale and cutting them off where they
don't fit).
When I try to pre-set a document to landscape A4 and then
Convert/Import another document, it just opens up a new US Letter
document and sticks the shapes on that.
After an import/conversion, if I change the size of the page to
landscaped A4, it's really too late... again, the only information
imported is what fit in that US Letter sized document.
Is what I'm trying to do -- simply turn dxf drawings, on landscape A4
pages, into same-sized and oriented Visio documents -- possible? How?
Thanks in advance,
M
