CONVERT 3D AUTOCAD 2000 MODEL TO SOLID EDGE

How do I convert a autocad 2000 3D model (.dwg) to a part or assembly file in Solid Edge V16.

thanks

export it as a STEP or IGES.

The version of autocad (autocad 2000) I have doesn't have a step or iges option for exporting.

The export STEP and IGES options may be under File>Export>Data in AutoCad.
Is there an export as SAT (ACIS) option ?
If so you should be able to import this format into Solid Edge.
If you don't have any of these options I don't think you will be able to export your 3D to Solid Edge, as it only imports dwg and dxf formats into 2D.

Hi,

Try opening your dwg 3D using a dft (2D) template. You might get an empty draft. Close it without saving. Then check in the folder where the dwg is and see if there is a new *.sat file that SE created.

If that's the case, open that file using a par template.
