Importing from 2D (Dwg) to 3D (Iges)

[NicoJK]

Hello, I need to know which is the Fastest and effective way of exporting DWG from "Autocad" to IGES to can to import simply curves / lines 2D to "IDEAS NX11".
Thanks.

Maybe is not the fastest way, but the better is to convert the DWG from autocad into DXF to open it in the I-Deas Drafting, and then in I-DEAS Drafting select the lines you wanna export and go to Export -> To solids -> To workbench. This will copy the selected info into I-DEAS 3D Workplane.

Good Luck.

Sorry first select Export and the select the info you wanna put into the 3D.

Thank you for you answer, I've converted the DWG archive in DXF but, I can't open it in I-DEAS Drafting, I don't know how to do that., I do not understand well the menu... if you could tell me how to do i'll be grateful whit you. I have the version I-Deas NX 11 Series.

Thanks again.

You need to open the file.
I.e, in drafting, select File / Import /Dxf-file
Click Done.

Select the input-file, and if your translator-options of choice.
Finally click OK.

And Remember that I-DEAS and spaces on names or folders are enemies. So try to use name without spaces or folders without spaces.
