To Create a .Ccf File for Converting Drawings (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.
5. Open the .alz file with any text editor, include the line [Entity] at the top of the file, determine all target layers (which are defined in e.g. conv.dwg), and save this file as e.g. conv.ccf.
6. Switch to the drawing you want to convert.
7. At the Command prompt, enter AMCONVDWG.
8. In the Select Conversion Control file (CCF) dialog box, choose the .ccf file. A .dwg must exist with the same name in the same directory containing the layers you want to convert to.
9. Choose Open.
