Here i've sent you a screenshot showing the location of the CAD file, let me know if it works.

I'm able to download the 2D DWG or DXF from the McMaster-Carr site (excellent resource) and open them with no issue but none of the 3D files seem to work. Has anyone had any luck with the other files?

Given that there is no DXF or DWG choice for a 3D version wouldn't you have to import a file type that AutoCAD does support?

Yes, I would think so. Being new to CAD, I'm not very familiar with all the file types it supports.

But I think I found a solution:

Download the 3-D SAT file and import it via File>Import

Just use the IMPORT command and see what file types are listed.

Some of the SAT files on McMaster-Carr do not work, in that instance (or anytime if you like), you can open most of those with Inventor Fusion and save as AutoCAD .dwg.
