RE: Help! I need somebody! help!
We are running Pro/E 2000i and i^2, neither of which will bring in DXF files into drawings/and sketcher in any shape or form.
We also the have the freebie download-able Voloview from Autodesk which will not read early DXF files either.
So we have the situation that AutoDesk have made the DXF writer not backward comaptible, and believe me this really screws up the work place environment. We are asking cutonmers to send IGES now.
If you are sending out dxf's to both customer and supplier please check that they can read it, it saves SOOO much hassle. This DXF stuff all seemed to go pear shaped from realese 13 onwards If somebody out there know more or better please comment..
Perhaps someone from Autodesk would also like to comment.

You can import IGES 2D into ProE as a sketch so you must convert DXF to IGES. It may be difficult to find an IGES translator. Pre 14 versions of AUTOCAD should do.

save the drawing.
While in sketcher mode...

We should seriouly send out a compliant email about this one little feature.
Well, it was a good try.

Does anyone know how ot get round this?
Thanks
RE: Help! I need somebody! help!
empty file
2. goto file import choose append to file and browse to
*.dxf
because *.dxf is a 2D file you have to open in proe
drawing file , but you cannot open in part model
