Importing DXF/DWG directly into NX drawing space.

Importing DXF/DWG directly into NX drawing space.

(OP)
Hi..
I am working with a company moving into NX 8.5 and their drawings are going to be exported from CoCreate as DXF files.
We are wanting to use an empty NX file and import the DXF files directly into the NX drawing sheet (Work Part).
There will be files with multiple drawings so the plan is to use sheets in drafting.

The master model concept is being used so the goal is to have the NX model and recreate the existing
drawing views blowing away the imported DXF drawing data. I believe this was possible in older versions
but the import wizard does not support this. The doc's say you can import into the work part, using the
option of send model data to > drawing view. This option is only available for New Part

Thanks
TPorter

So you want to import the dxf entities directly onto the drawing sheet and not have them show up in modeling?
