Improved import / possible bug

General Feedback & Requests

  1. I posted to https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/architectural-and-design-visualization/1658375-datasmith-import-anomaly-using-dwg-format which explains a bug or anomaly when importing a DWG file which appears to flip along the x-axis. The file was opened correctly in a number of other softwares indicating the problem is with UE4?

  2. Given UE4 now has plugins for SKP, 3DS etc. it would be beneficial to add these formats to the Datasmith import file format options. My office uses DataCAD which reads/writes SKP, 3DS, STL, AEC, DXF, O2C, DWF, WRL and DWG, but there is no direct plugin available. Datasmith only imports DWG out of these formats and has the issue flipping along the x-axis,

Hope this can be fixed or a solution offered as we’re keen to migrate over to UE4.

Thanks.

It appears someone else has also having the same issue with the DWG import - Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-79599)

Unfortunately this ‘bug’ is still present in the latest 4.23.0. There is also the issue of missing import formats in Datasmith.
