To see an example of DXF or DWG file import errors and warnings:
-
Open a DXF or DWG file that contains entities that cause import errors.
-
In the DXF/DWG Import Wizard, click Finish.
The translator imports the file into SolidWorks. Because the file contains entities that cause import errors, the Summary of DXF/DWG Import Errors and Warnings dialog box appears with the relevant error messages listed in summary format.
-
Click any of the following:
-
Open Report. Generates an *.err text file containing details of the import errors. The file is located in the same directory as the DXF file and contains the same information shown as Details.
-
Details. Displays details of the import errors. This contains the same information as Open Report.
-
Summary. Displays a summary of the import errors.
-
Click Close.
