To Analyze a Current Drawing (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Converting a drawing needs three files: An analyze file (.alz), a converting file (.ccf), and a drawing file (.dwg) containing the layers you want to convert to. This drawing must have the same name as the .ccf file and must be located in the same directory.

  1. Open the drawing you want to convert.
  2. At the Command prompt, enter AMANALYSEDWG.
  3. In the File name for Analysis info (.ALZ file) dialog box, enter a file name and the folder to analyze the current DWG.
  4. In the AutoCAD question dialog box, choose Yes to show the drawing information.
Note: You can use the .alz file to enter the necessary entries for creating a ccf-file. The ccf-file can be used to convert drawings.
