copy drawings from autocad to solidworks


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I too just started using acad 2006 and can no longer

just paste part of a cad drawing into solidworks like I used to be able to do when i used 2002 and r14

 

I really need this to work..

Can you or anyone offer any help?

 

I simply want to edit, copy from autocad and

past into my sketch in solidworks.

I think there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed????

thanks

I have removed your other duplicate thread from the Autocad section.

 

Why don't you just Import your dwg into Solidworks, instead of copy and paste.

you can simply open your dwg in sw, no need to copy/paste. You can also create acad blocks and open them in SW. You mentioned your Acad version but what version of SolidWorks are you using.

when i try to open the drg in solidworks I get a message saying

 

Invalid/incomplete dwg dxf input file

unable to continue import translation

 

i'm using 2004 solidworks

 

copy and paste result in no message and nothing happens

hopefully this will help you

Well I dont think you can copy/paste between software like that.

 

In SW go to your tools>add-ins and see if you have a dwg or dxf translator that isnt turned on.

You might try saving the DWG to earlier version since your AutoCAD is later version than your SolidWorks.
