Curves from CAD Layers node not working with File Path

Hi All

I’m having trouble getting the CurvesfromCADLayers node from the Bimorph package to work with a file path node and the family I created. I simple put the CAD link in a family and use the File Path node to point to it and then string it up… The dwg works when linked into a project and it looks as though the CAD Reports node can find the CAD file in the family, but it won’t pull the curves out of it.

Hi @Jason.Wheeler CurvesfromCADLayers only operates on the active document. The ReportInstance node with a file path provided accesses external documents (no file path [default] = active document), and that’s what you wont see any curves as the CurvesfromCADLayers node is not designed to process CAD instances from external sources.

@Thomas_Mahon thanks for they clarification… much appreciated… Know of any other nodes/packages off the top of your head that could do this? :slight_smile:
