    saving to a dwg.

    I have vectorized a jpeg file in bobart. I want to save it in a dwg. or dxf so I can load it into my autocad where I am more proficient at the editing and then bring it back into bobart to run the gcode. I am able to save it as a dxf or dwg in bobcad but when I go to my autocad to open that file it does not show up in the bobcad directory. Where is it? I have even tried to drag and drop into Autocad with no success. Why have a way to save the file in dwg or dxf if it cannot be opened in Autocad? Please help.

    I just did a test that worked.
    I imported a jpg, vectorized it, saved as a dwg, then in autocad 2004 I opened the dwg.
    If the file name does not show up in the folder where you saved it when you use the open command in Autocad, either the file is in another location, or when you are saving you are not getting the right file extension somehow.
