Saving Autocad drg border template into SW2007
Saving Autocad drg border template into SW2007
(OP)
How do I do this. The drawing template is a multilayered DWG file. When I try to open it in SW2007 it goes through the "Create SW Drg Wizard (I have to play about with the scale something rotten). But when I try to save Sheet Format it all disapears. I've tried all afternoon to save it in different template formats but nothings working. When I try a slddrt then open it it all crashes.
Can you boffins out there help me on this one.
Cheers
Mick

Try opening the template, highlight the border and all it's text, ctrl+C then paste it onto a drawing sheet in SW.

Are you in the Edit Sheet Format mode when inserting the DWG file?

This is a very common mistake.

Can you flatten multi layers to one layer - that might help?

I drew it all again - far easier

A star for you, for stating the obvious. We tried importing AutoCAD templates into SolidWorks 11 years ago. After months of fight it, I sat down and redrew the SolidWorks template to match what we had been doing in AutoCAD.
