I don't understand about the idw to dxf transition. Is the Dxf file a 3D model? how does it "rebuild" itself form a 2D file such as the idw format. Thanks for mentioning about deleting the boarders and dimensioning it, would it be okay if I had several views of the model? top view, front view, iso metric, and cutaway view.

Thanks for the tips!

Oh right! I am using Autodesk Inventor 10...on a vista, with a really nice virtual PC tool =D Thank god!
All you need to recreate any 3D part from 2D drawings are dimensioned top, front, and side views - or in other words, one sketch of the part in each of the XY, YZ, and XZ planes. Depending on part complexity, additional drawings or cutaway views can also be helpful. Adding an isometric view can also help visualize the part for the person reading the drawings.
