imort acad into sketch, help
(OP)
Ok, so I've read and followed the help files on inserting an autocad dwg into a sketch and it just doesn't seem to work, nothing inserts into the sketch. I am using inventor 6 with latest service packs and start sketch and use the insert autocad file command, follow all the steps and nothing inserts. Anyone have any success with importing into a sketch, could you tell me what I'm doing wrong.

use the auto dim tool again to add dimensions and you're one step from being fully constrained...
pulling a point onto the origin, which should make your whole sketch black. then you can change parametric dimensions with (near
