Re: How to import drawings into CAD

Rick,

I take it you use Solidworks. Which files do you want to import in? .STEP, .IGES, etc?

All you normally have to do is drag and drop the file into Solidworks, it will auto spit out a Solidworks file. From there you go to sheet metal if you are using 2009 and turn the part into a sheet part. From there you can go -> file -> save as -> dxf.

If you are using 2010 then you don't have to turn it into sheet.

If you have any questions, feel free to email or IM me.

-RC
