Cad Import

Hi,
I've been using sketch up for some time now especially for importing cad drawings and modeling up from them.
A friend just downloaded sketchup 7 and it seems the option to do this has been removed.
Is this to make people buy pro???
Thanks for reading.
Cheers, Steve.

I just got a SU upgrade notice. This is the version w/o DXF import.

Maybe yes - maybe no (necessarily - for the time being). See this here:

Dear Gaieus,

I believe that one can download the missing .dwg and .dxf importers for Version 7. From where can one download these importers?

Are the importers still there with Version 6?

Kind regards,
Bob

Here is the plugin:

and of course, all previous versions still have the import option (although as an "official" download, Google only provides the latest version for the Free SU).
