| Import Export Tips with the WMF FormatThere is no doubt that Autodesk® Architectural Desktop creates amazing 3D models, but sometimes it's handy to be able to "dress up" or modify this geometry with elements that you do not want to create in 3D. You may want to display the desired isometric or orthogonal view, and then use the WMFOUT command to export a 2D representation of that view to a file. You can then use the WMFIN command to bring that geometry back into an AutoCAD drawing. You can EXPLODE the imported geometry, and modify it as you would any other 2D view. This enables you add art deco molding to a building exterior, or show custom latticework and rails on a staircase.
