I am trying to export my Home Designer Pro 2014 plan to someone using Chief Architect 10. Is there a way to do it through .dxf or .dwg? What compatibility setting do I need to use? Thanks for your help.

they would need X5 to use your .plan file ( older cant open newer I think) but DXF>All Floors might work , not sure what other options Pro 2014 has for exporting files...

I can export in a number of AutoCAD compatible formats. Since CA10 came out in 2005 I'm trying the line that offers 2004/2005/2006. I wonder how much information get lost in translation.Quote:

Older versions of Chief Architect Premier cannot do so, this is not merely my opinion but a fact ( I own and use Versions of Chief Premier back to Version 7 and Home Designer titles back to Version 7, I am certain).

Seems that saving the file compatible with AutoCAD 2005 worked and the file imported into CA10.Quote:
