Anyone use ArchiCAD?

[Colapop]

I've been sent an ArchiCAD file that I have no way of viewing, printing or converting to something usable. Does anyone have ArchiCAD or a programme they can convert it to a .dwg or .dxf for me please?

From some website I googled...



Can I open .PLA or .PLN type files in AutoCAD?

answer No, these file are probably coming from ArchiCAD. You need to export some more standard file format from ArchiCAD (DWG, DXF).

So you'll need to get whoever sent it to you, to export it in another format - seems this ArchiCAD is a bit of a strange one...

Yes I googled that too... I did try the self help option first.

(I know!! I was surprised I did that too!!!)

Can you do what I do when I get doc-x format?

Just send it back.
