Q: When using the Task Scheduler to import DXF/DWG files, is it possible to specify a custom scale for resulting SOLIDWORKS drawings?Ī: Unfortunately, the task scheduler user interface does not provide the ability to scale DWG/DXF files during for import. Go to ‘Tools’ > ‘sketch settings’ > click on ‘automatic solve’.To enable the ‘Align sketch’ command in a part file that you create from a DWG file, do the following: When you import DXF/DWG files as sketches, the SOLIDWORKS software can disable the ‘Automatic Solve’ function for performance reasons. Q: Why might the ‘Align sketch’ command not function when I import a DXF/DWG file?Ī: The ‘Align Sketch’ command only works if the ‘Automatic Solve’ function is active. Use the command ‘insert’ and browse to the DWG file name with the block definition.Import the block from an external DWG file in AutoCAD.Use the command ‘wblock’ (write block) and browse to select the path and DWG file name.Q: What are the steps to export and or import blocks to or from an external DWG file in AutoCAD?Ī: To export a block to an external DWG file in AutoCAD: Users need to specify them manually in the DXF/DWG import dialog box.

In the DXF/DWG import dialog, select the zoom to fit from the preview toolbar above the preview window. Perform a zoom to fit to see all of the available geometry. Q: Is there a reason why some entities might not be shown in the DXF/DWG import preview?Ī: This can occur if the position is not fully fit into the screen. The DWG/DXF file can be treated prior to the importation using either of two command line methods, this first method using the Purge command, and the second using the Wblock command. ![]() If new gripping points appear, the drawing may have extra entities that could cause a centering problem. Q: Is there a better method to centering a DXF/DWG drawing sheet when using the SOLIDWORKS DXF/DWG import wizard?Ī: If the two options or the “Center in sheet” selection do not work to your satisfaction, cancel the importation and perform this test: Open the DWG/DXF with DraftSight, zoom out so the drawing will be shown very small in the graphics area, then hit Ctrl A.
