Spline Import
Spline Import
(OP)
I scanned in a sketch and traced over it in Illustrator, then I exported to DXF, however solidworks won't import it. The import wizard runs, and gives a preview of the sketch but it throws an error. Sorry, I'm writing this a day later and from a computer that has internet access, but the error says something about splines and has a list like this:
handle: 2c
handle: 3b
and it doesn't do the import.
Any thoughts? Is there a better way to go from Illustrator to solidworks, or maybe somewhere I can get a checklist for the best way to make a drawing in illustrator that will be most compatible?
-Thanks

RE: Spline Import
Open a new sketch, then, Tools > Sketch Tools > Sketch Picture. Select your scan (JPEG or whatever), select the size you want it to appear (scaled) and it's part of your sketch. You can then start a new sketch over the scan and use splines or whatever you like to get perfect data. Works with photos, too.
