Importing from AutoCAD, can't see anything...

Importing from AutoCAD, can't see anything...

Importing from AutoCAD, can't see anything...

(OP)
Before I started here everything was done in AutoCAD 2002.  Well, I have been redrawing a piece of equipment in Pro/e and making several changes to it.  However, there are a few pieces with some complex curves that I want to import.  But when I try to import anything from AutoCAD the files won't show up in the "open" menu.  I've tried saving them as everything available in AC from R14 DXF/DWG's to 2002 DXF/DWG's, but Pro/e just doesn't seem to recognize them.  

Is there something I need to have set somewhere?  or something I'm missing?

RE: Importing from AutoCAD, can't see anything...

Are there any spaces in your autocad file name? If yes, please remove them (or put underscore character "_").

Ugh!  I feel really stupid.  That was it.  I completely went blank on that one.

Thanks!

Pro/E is not fully Windows compliant, even though PTC claims it to be. It is usually in the translator functions where this gets overlooked. UG had the same problem for a number of releases after they claimed to be MS compliant, also.
