DXF 3D Files
The DXF 3D translator extracts ACIS information from a DXF file, if that information exists in the file, and imports it into a SolidWorks part document. If a DXF file contains multiple bodies or an assembly, SolidWorks creates an assembly document.
Note the following translator limitations:
To open a DXF 3D part:
-
Click File, Open.
-
Set Files of type to DXF (*.dxf).
-
Browse to a file, then click Open.
The model is converted immediately into a SolidWorks part, or the DXF/DWG Import Wizard appears.
-
In the DXF/DWG Import Wizard, select Import to a new part, then click Next.
-
On the Drawing Layer Mapping tab, click Next.
-
On the Document Settings tab, select Import this sheet and as 3D curves/model, then click Finish.
