0.16 > DWG Import > where to set "TeighaFileConverter.exe" directory ? [RESOLVED]

Post by brice »

Hi all,

I'm new to freecad (0.16), and I'm trying to import DWG file.

The online documentation Extra_python_modules#Teigha_Converter seems a little bit out of date: Teigha link is deprecated, and freecad section doesn't exist.

- I tried to search "Edit -> Preferences -> Draft -> Import/Export options." without success
- I tried to search import parameters into user/system cfg files (located here: C:\Users\Brice\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD )
- I tried to add my installation directory to the path (ex. C:\Programmes\TeighaFileConverter4.02.2 ) but seems not solving my issue.
- I tried to search similar issue right here in the forume without success.

Please give me a hint ;)

Regards
Brice

Hello brice! Welcome to FreeCAD and the forum :)
You must first activate the draft Workbench for the preference to become available. I updated the Teigha link on the wiki thanks for the heads up.
