Hi,

Im new at solid works.


How can I import a AutoCAD drawing (.DWG) into a template drawing(.SLDDRW) that I all ready have?

Or are you trying to setup new sheet formats?

Scott,
How do I import a dwg title block and make it a SW template?
I open the file in SW and tried to save it as a "drwdot" but I can't toggle between "edit sheet" and "edit sheet format". All I get is the geometry on the top and when toggled to "edit sheet", everything goes blank.

Open a SW template, go to edit sheet format mode, open your ACAD template, select all, copy, go to SW, paste.

You will have to do some clean up and positioning etc, but to me that is the easiest way to get anything autocad into SW. Good old copy and paste.

jmongan is right, just highlight the Block and click Edit/Cut cut the Title block, RMB the sheet and select Edit Sheet format, and paste the title block (FYI - pick the sheet before pasting).
