Hello
I have a pb under solidworks 2014 to import a 3d file in DWG. Solidworks automatically considers it to be a plan when it is a 3d file (I managed to open it in rhino).
How do I get solidworks to open it as a 3d file?
Thank you in advance.
Hello, you mean exporting a 3D file in dwg right?
When saving a solidworks file in .dwg, in fact, you will end up with a rough drawing of your part / assembly.
The best (and free) way I've found is to go through Draftsight.
The method:
- Save your part/assembly as a .sat file (ACIS)
-Open Draftsight
-Type "acisin" in the Draftsight command bar (without the quotation marks)
- Save your file in .dwg from Draftsight
And there you have it, a 3D .dwg!
On the other hand, if it is indeed importing .dwg into Solidworks, follow the method of @Bart, check the box "3D curves" when importing.
Kind regards
Joss

Thank you
It was the checkbox (too used to importing 2d, I didn't see the other options anymore).
