V Building BASEMENT FLOOR.zip Edit (44.9 KiB, application/zip; name="V Building BASEMENT FLOOR.zip")

Attached is the dxf file. This does not work because the colors and format
is not retained when the dxf is imported into InkScape. Perhaps it gets
lost in the process of saving dwg to dxf. In any case, this approach does
not work.

Thanks for the interesting suggestion,
John Portnov

Attached is the dxf file.  This does not work because the colors and format
is not retained when the dxf is imported into InkScape.   Perhaps it gets
lost in the process of saving dwg to dxf.   In any case, this approach does
not work.

Thanks for the interesting suggestion,
