Okay, I will post the other couple of problems here and if I'm doing the wrong thing someone let me know and I will post them in a separate thread. 1. The convert PDF to DXF function does not work (found in the file menu). Below is the output at the Command line when I try to use it. Command : _PDF2CAD 1Vbi file not found there does not appear to be an error to copy from the terminal. 2. The drop down layer selection menu at the top left of the screen directly above where the drawing 1 tab is opens upwards off of the screen once the drawing has a few layers on it.
