Hi Everyone, I try to open Autocad dwg (contain 3 sheets) but QCAD doesn't show anything on it. However, it does show sheet1 when I use pdf file.
I tried to find solution on the forum but still can't get answer. Does anyone know how to open it?
QCAD version 3.27.6
Mac version 12.4 (intel)
dwg file created on Fusion360
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It seems that your drawing is drawn in paper space.
To see those details select the individual sheets in the Block List.
Common practice is to draw in model space, paper space is then used to represent it or parts of it on paper.
QCAD can import details from pdf files in vector format.
It probably just import the valid design that it find on the first page.

CVH

Hi,
you can find your drawings in Paper_Space (Layout Blocks). To get a widget which shows those Layout Blocks make sure that the widget is launched below Menu / View / Blocklist.
After launching double click on Sheet1, 2 or 3 to edit / print etc the block content.

Thank you very much Husky and CVH.
I can see the drawing now. The dwg file was converted from design to dwg by Fusion360. So currently, I don't know how to set them as model space before converted to dwg. I'll check Fusion360 again.
