I am back to using Frame after a 1-year hiatus and have been tasked to import some AutoCAD files into Frame 7.0. I keep running into a filter error every time I try to import. I have searched around for these filters and have had no luck in locating them. Any ideas, advice or better yet, procedure(s) for importing these files into Frame?

Thanks for the reply. I just found out that the company does not want to change the AutoCAD file to an .eps or .jpeg file(or PDF, for that matter) so the filter error is a moot point. The next challenge is trying to figure out how to keep the CAD file as is. I think I will try OLE and see if that works. If you have any suggestions about this, please let me know.
If you are using the following versions of AutoCAD - 10, 11, 12, 13, you should be able to import .dxf files.
The following discussion in the Adobe Framemaker forums may be of some use:

Sorry, the URL seems to be getting mangled. If you go to and do asearch on AutoCAD in the Framemaker forum, there are a number of threads. They all seem to recommend converting to pdf then importing that into Framemaker as the preferred route.

In both DXF and DWG it don't work if any text is in a vertical position. Text must be horizontal. Otherwise no go.
Rotate any text that's upright to a horizontal position.
It is also recomended to change to a web font, ie Helvitica or Verdana.
Then it is no problem editing Acad Frames from inside Frame.
Trust it helps.

I have to update my advice on DXF DWG since framemaker for some reason don't want to import autocad files anymore.
In Autocad I export the view to .wmf format.
Framemaker import even big drawings in .wmf easily. Fast as well.
Printing to pdf presents no problems.
