Convert CAD (DWG) to Visio Drawings




By Payo on Dec 28, 2007

" "
We get CAD floor plans from our customers (building floor plans) and we would like to convert to Visio so we can modify for our needs. We really don't need full blown CAD or CAD lite functionality -- Visio serves our purposes just fine. However, we are having bear of a time converting the CAD floor plans to Visio. MS Help says it can be done, but we can't figure it out. Is that something you do?

You can import graphics files of different formats to start a new Visio drawing by using the Open command on the File menu.
The following graphics file formats are supported:
  • AutoCAD Drawing File Format (.dwg, .dxf)
  • Compressed Enhanced Metafile (.emz)
  • Enhanced Metafile (.emf)
  • Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
  • JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg)
  • Portable Network Graphics (.png)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics Drawing (.svg, .svgz)
  • Tag Image File Format (.tif, .tiff)
  • Windows Bitmap (.bmp, .dib)
  • Windows Metafile (.wmf)
Note File formats may vary slightly between language versions. You may not get exactly the same results if you import files created in different language versions.
  1. On the File menu, click Open.
  2. In the Files of type box, click the file format of the file you want to import.
If you don't see the file format listed, Visio doesn't have a file filter for that format. Try saving the document in a format Visio can open.
