DXF Import as a part

As long as you import as new part you should be able to do that with a tickbox on the second page of the import dialogue box, without the need for a macro, but it does rely on layers actually having been used instead of just different colours.

Is that not working for you?

Hi, Thanks for your response. Yes it works for me but I'm trying to get it done through a macro in order to save time.

You may need to incorporate additional API references outside of SolidWorks to sort out layers in a DXF.

Thanks, I'll see if i can find something on that.Great help!
