Try saving it as an "Acis(sat)" file, then import the models into Autocad. Maybe this way none of the features of the model will be loss.

In Autocad, have you tried moving the image to the 0,0 cordinates?

In Autocad use the "ucs" command to create a new orgin on the image.

Do a google search on AutoCad express tools, you should find a site where you can download the express tools.

If you have the express tools install use the "laydel" command.

If you have the express tools, check out the layer options. For example you can use the layer merge to merge your layers into a selected layer. You can also use the layer delete to delete layers you do not use.

This probably won't work, but have you tried loading the .mnu from the full version of AutoCAD to 2005 LT? I too have been very interested to find out if there is a way to do this.

Instead of using "solprof" to create the top and the other two views, use "solview", and "soldraw instead. Then you should be able to change the layer linetypes.

Just make sure to save the Autocad file to an older, previous version.

Was the part originally drawn in Solidworks, or some other Mcad package?

Try converting the part to either the ASCII format, or the STL format then check the measurements on the part.

Is there any other file formats mastercam can read, besides dxf.
