Copying and Pasting from AutoCAD to SolidWorks
You can copy and paste entities from an AutoCAD DXF or DWG file into
SolidWorks part, assembly, and drawing documents.
In the SolidWorks drawing document, the lines, arcs, notes, annotations,
and so forth that you paste are attached to either a drawing view or the
sheet, whichever is active. The pasted entities inherit scaling, grouping,
visibility, and other properties from the drawing view or sheet.
In SolidWorks part and assembly files, you must select a planar face
onto which you paste the entities as a sketch.
To copy and paste entities from AutoCAD to a SolidWorks
drawing document:
In AutoCAD, open a DXF or DWG file. This example
shows a DWG file. Select the entities inside the box, then click Edit, Copy.
In SolidWorks, open the SolidWorks drawing document
into which you want to paste the entities. Click inside the sheet in the
graphics area where you want to paste the entities.

Click Edit, Paste
to paste the entities onto the active sheet.
