Is there a way to get curves from catdrawing to catpart? We are getting data in 2D autocad drawing and then need to export curves for tool shop. Any ideas

Thanks

You need to save as .dxf, and copy and paste the geometry (pick the whole view) from the dxf into a sketch. From there, you will need to adjust the scale.
