[alkemixt]

Hi,

I have a .dwg file created by Autocad, and I want to import this into my Catpart, either as a sketch or as a 3d lines.

is this possible?

thanks

You have to bring it into a drawing first, then copy paste it to a CATPart.

or

Bring it into the drawing file, then save it out as a .ig2, this is a 2d iges file.
In windows change the extension to .igs
This will come in as a CATPart file.

Regards,
Derek

just out of curiosity, is there any other way to import these 2D model into 3D? changing the file name to fool catia seems kinda silly.. but it works...

I am only aware of the 2 methods, filename change and copy paste from drafting to modelling.
