We inherited another arm of the company that used FastCAD, ver 6.x, for its drawing program (extension .fcw).  Does anyone know of a converter to get this mountain of drawings to Visio (2003) so I don't have to redraw them in order to make changes?  I don't mind converting them one at a time either.  Anything is better than redoing them.

I've investigated FastCAD and there doesn't appear to be a "save as .vcd" in their world.

Thanks.

it appears that FastCad can support export as AutoCad (.dwg) and EnhancedMetafile (.emf), both can be imported into Visio.

.dxf is the AutoCAD interchange format. That might be worth trying too, if the .dwg formats don't work. There are always issues with "which version of AutoCAD/dxf is supported"
