Hi,
when I import a dxf or dwg, lines and texts are imported in the modeling envirnment of the drawing.
It's possible to import directly in the sheet area or in a blank view ?

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC9.1

you can just go into drafting (in the same file) and drop a view of that model space onto a blank sheet, just scale to fit, job done...
 
Moog,
this is not what I asked.
I want the dxf lines and texts into the drawing, not related to the modeling environment via a classic view.

Thank you...

Hi kapil,
this option is not present in my dxf setting.

Thank you...

Hi Cubalibre00,
I am using NX8.0.2. I guess you are using IMPORT/AUTOCAD DXF/DWG. Instead could you please try opening the DXF directly from FILE/OPEN.You may get this option in that case.I am attaching a picture illustrating the same.
Best Regards

Hi Kapil,
I'm under TC and File->Open doesn't have all the option like in native.
Anyway, I will do in native and then import in TC.

Thank you...

We could never get DXFs to import into the drawing view when we migrated to 8.5
We have to open a native NX, import the DXF into the £D environment, create a drawing then export a CGM.
The CGM can then be imported into the drawing view on the correct drawing.
 
Hi cubalibre00 and adam1986,
I just had a discussion with aone of our NX expert and here is the solution (you need to import the dxf in a new part). I am attaching a image herewith.You will notice that the dialogs are same now (FILE-OPEN in native). So you can import the dxf directly inside the TC drawing.
Let me know if it works for you.
Best Regards
