When you convert a drawing saved in paper space, only the objects that are not cut off clipped by the edge of the viewport are converted into Visio shapes.
Objects and text that are cut off are converted into lines. For example, a circle that is completely enclosed by a viewport is converted into a Visio circle shape. A circle that is clipped by the viewport is converted into a series of lines. Prepare for an AutoCAD import. Import an AutoCAD drawing. Convert multiple AutoCAD drawings. Note: To keep your drawing file size small and speed the conversion process, convert only the layers or levels that you need. For example, you can choose to delete or hide the converted layers, convert dimensions into dimension shapes, or convert hatch line patterns into shapes.
Browse to the file and click Open. Click an empty space on the diagram to deselect anything that may be already selected. A CAD drawing may have been saved in model space or paper space : Model space is the primary drawing workspace in which CAD drafters create drawings. The following image shows a DWG drawing saved in paper space.

This means that shapes can appear to be on top of other shapes. If the top shape is transparent, the bottom shape shows through. If a converted CAD object appears transparent in Visio and you want it to look solid, try selecting the object, and then applying a fill color, such as white.
If that doesn't work, you can edit the object's ShapeSheet so that the shape can be filled, but it's a weird process. Previous page. Table of content. Next page. Click Unselect All, and then select the layers or levels containing the CAD objects you want to convert. To select multiple layers or levels, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking. When you've selected all the layers, click Next. Visio converts the objects on the selected layers to shapes but removes the original layers from the imported CAD drawing.
That way, you'll still see the unconverted layers as a display-only object. This option isn't available for DGN files. Visio converts the objects on the selected layers to shapes and retains the original layers—but hides them.
That way, the converted shapes won't duplicate portions of the CAD drawing, but the original display-only drawing remains intact. Visio converts the objects on the selected layers to shapes, but removes the imported, display-only CAD drawing. Displays dimensions that are automatically updated when you resize the shapes they're associated with. The converted dimension lines lose the font and line style they had in the CAD drawing. Convert Into Lines And Text. Preserves the CAD formatting of dimension lines, which will appear as static annotations that are not automatically updated.
Preserves the CAD formatting of hatch patterns, which you can't edit in Visio. The wizard converts each vector in a hatch pattern into a separate Visio line shape that you can edit.
Troubleshooting Converted CAD objects become ungrouped. You can edit the converter template to control the following: Line and font conversion. CAD line styles and fonts are converted to Visio line styles and fonts that have the same name.
So, to preserve your font styles, you could create a Visio text style that uses the blueprint font you use in your CAD drawings. Drawing scale conversion.
The default drawing scale in the template also determines the drawing scale Visio uses for CAD drawings when you use File, Open. Measurement unit conversion. Visio interprets one CAD drawing unit as one Visio measurement unit. By default, the measurement unit is set to either inches or millimeters. The measurement units you use determine how big the converted CAD drawing is.
Symbol-to-shape conversion. If symbols you use in your CAD drawings have already been converted and added to a stencil, the converter can create instances of these masters instead of having to convert each block.
This can save you considerable time during the conversion process. These stencils are available to the converter even when you don't have the template open. Click the drop-down arrow on the Open button, and then select Original or Copy. In the opened conversion template, you can make changes as follows: To modify a style, choose Format, Define Styles. Select a style to modify, and then make changes and click OK. To create a new style, choose Format, Define Styles. Type a name for the new style, select the options you want, and click OK.
