Is there a way to import a 2D drawing that is a .pdf, and then convert that 2D from .pdf to a .PRO file? I have a pdf of a plan drawing that I want to either trace over to create a Punch version, or (if possible), just have the software convert the 2D plan drawing to a Punch compatible file.

TIA for the help.

I upgraded to the Pro version, for the specific ability to perform more design tasks

Yes, indeed. First, you need to check the graphic properties of you PDF file (raster or vector type) and then, proceed with the different options of the program.

To trace a plan => set the PDF as image => Follow the instructions on page 534 (user Guide).

To import and convert => Follow the instructions on page 38 (user Guide).

Hope this helps.
