Enhancement #537304 has been filed on this.
Can we please have PDF import to object like lines, fill shapes, arc, text?
This way we don't depend on third-party software.
We use third party software (Print2Cad) to translate vector based PDF files to DWG. Would be nice to have this implemented in Microstation/Powerdraft, though.
Thanks for the tip! This will save me years of work! Vectorizing capability should be implemented into every cad software.
No problem, just be aware that it only works satisfyingly with PDFs containing vectors. I found it to be not very precise with underlying jpg or tif files.
Thank you again! We didn't even know this was possible until I discovered this thread which prompted more research. We found another way via Autocad that works Converting a PDF to a DGN.
