Hello Inserting Autocad Sketches in SLDW

3D Design Volume Model

Hi all

For assembly purposes in Solidworks I insert sketches of aluminum joinery profiles in dwg to extrude them on SLDW

Not rich alas I am working on version 11 of SLDW, for some time now it has been impossible for me to copy and paste sketches from autocad or drafsight in SLDW

It is true that the versions I work with  (drafsight or Autocad LT)  are very recent, does this explain that??? Or does it surprise you and you have a solution?

For example, I attach a DWG file, which I can't copy into a solidworks sketch. Grrrrrrrr 

Kind regards

Larghetto

Hello

make sure CTRL-C on the profile and CTRL-V  in a sketch??? If not, you can just make a clean DXF with the desired profile then file==>open and you select your DXF then you select an MEP and then Improter in a new room as: 2D Sketch then you click next; Select Millimeters in the units and choose the part layers you are interested in, then next and finish... At home the 2 ways work very well...

Why not go through an image insertion if problem with your DXF

with SW2012, I tried to do Insert/dxf-dwg, it gives me a message "invalid or incomplete dxf/dwg file". It is likely that there is a generational conflict

In your case:
- I will clean the DWG to keep only the essentials;
- I'll save it in an old version of DWG (2010 is enough)

I tested it and it works

it's the same for me @ stefbeno when I did the test yesterday

That's why I recommended going through an image insertion

Hello

If it's a version problem, in Draftsight, you just have to save the dwg in a format earlier than 2009 or 2010.

So you'll have to validate stefbeno as the best answer because he had proposed it to you...
