DWG file not importing to drawing

DWG file not importing to drawing

DWG file not importing to drawing

(OP)
Hi i have a drawing template created in catia and saved as .dwg. but when i tried to import it to nx, it is imported to 3D.
Does anybody know what i am doind wrong. is there any way to importing it to drawing sheet. thanks in advance

RE: DWG file not importing to drawing

Sounds like there might have been an issue when the Catia model was converted to a .dwg file. Did you try rounding-tripping the .dwg file back into Catia to see what was actually exported and how it gets returned?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, there is no issue with catia. it opened in drawing in catia. issue is only when i importing to NX.

RE: DWG file not importing to drawing

What version of NX? In recent versions there is a dwg/dxf import wizard; specify the dwg file to import and press the "preview" button. If the geometry that you want shows up in the "model" tab, choose the "send model data to: drawing sheet" option. This will create a new drawing sheet in the file and import the geometry directly to it.
