I have a 2d cadd dwg of a flat plate with complex angles that I want to import into Inventor, I follow the help files exactly but when the inventor file opens I can't see my dwg. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

when in a sketch use the insert autocad file button and follow the prompts. make sure your autocad drawing is on the xy plane and you should have no problems
 
you can put dimensions onto imported sketch and change them but i dont think there is a scale command. once the sketch becomes a solid you can scale it.
