Question
I am working with this Architect who use Photoshop 7 (Mac) to create floor plan. Our company(interior design company) use Auto CAD LT 2007. Is there any way to convert his Photoshop 7 dwg to Auto CAD line dwg?

Answer
TRA,

Photoshop does not use vector objects. Autocad can't possibly read this data at all. It can import jpg, gif, etc., & then traced over using its native objects (lines, arcs, splines). Illustrator on the otherhand, is vector based & can export its entities as dxf files. Hope this helps!
