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:
