sorry but i don't see that option('Files of type' (Microsoft Windows) or 'Format' (Mac OS X)) in my drop-down list of file type.
may be the reason is that i have downloded trial version first to try out.
but how can i ty it out if i can not import dwg file in it?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......................a trial version. Well that makes all the sense in the world then. Yep, I'll bet the fine folks over at Google disabled that feature. There might be a work-around but I would have to do some sleuthing to come up with it.

ok i found a answer to that in this discussion so will download plugin next week and try out.

Keep in mind that the plug-in (Importer for DWG/DXF) that is mentioned only works in SketchUp 7.1 and not 8 which means that you would have to find and download both.

DWG import should work in the 8 hour trial of SU8, it has on machine I have tried.

Could Dipali be looking in the wrong place? The DWG/DXF import feature isn't an add-on in the Pro version is it?

It's not supposed to be.
