Importing DXF to Solidworks

I was waiting for JB to answer this, but I'm sure it beneath him now that he's plagorizing new people.

1. Start a new model.

1. Select the plane you would like to import the dwg/dxf onto -FIRST-

2. Insert DXF/DWG

1. Enjoy

JB ran a demo program that changes the order of the import above that improves efficiency by 400% So all you need to do is -think- about import a DWG/DXF and it's done....all constrainted too and emailed to the CNC shop that pays YOU to do your job.

Thanks CC, I didn't realize it was that easy......! I always look for the most difficult way first! Cheers! BM

Another option when the sketch is already made: Right-Click on the sketch in the feature tree and choose "Edit sketch plane", then choose the top plane.
