Skewed ellipse

[ctopher]

Has anyone converted a dwg from 2004 that has an ellipse drawn on the dwg then get skewed when opening in 2005? I have dwgs that have ellipse's drawn in schematics (shield) and some DXF dwgs. When I convert them to SW 2005, they look normal except when I do either print preview, save to PDF or print to paper, the ellips's look like someone took a pencil and scribbled across the dwg. Has anyone seen this or find a fix? My VAR is unable to resolve. thanks

No. DWGEditor will bring in the DXF fine. Only when DXF is opened in SolidWorks 2005.

You mean when you open it as a part or as a drawing - I assume you mean a SW drawing.

yes, a drawing. I have a lot of drawings that are created in SW and a lot that are DXF from old CAD. All of them come in with same problem.
