ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

(OP)
I have a 2d cadd dwg of a flat plate with complex angles that I want to import into Inventor, I follow the help files exactly but when the inventor file opens I can't see my dwg.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

RE: ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

when in a sketch use the insert autocad file button and follow the prompts.  make sure your autocad drawing is on the xy plane and you should have no problems

RE: ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

Can an imported .dwg be scaled i.e. resized?

RE: ACAD DWG TO INVENTOR

you can put dimensions onto imported sketch and change them but i dont think there is a scale command.  once the sketch becomes a solid you can scale it.
