Dwg import failed
-
Hello Sketchucation,
I don't know if you have a separate "import failed" section?
I have a 2d dwg-file that i need to import,but sketchup keeps telling me "import failed" without any further details. It's not a big file, and other dwg's always imported perfectly. So it is the dwg-drawing that needs to be adjusted but I don't know in what way or how.
When I open the file in autocad, it tells me that shx-files are missing. I tell autocad to ignore these and the dwg opens in autocad. I then tried several things, save it again as dwg (as now maybe the missing shx-files are ignored?), save it as an dxf, and export it to stl.
The new dxf and dwg also give the same message "import failed" in sketchup
The stl-file was no created because I have to do another step and I don't know what
, I know nothing about autocad.Can you help me?
thnx

You could try sharing the file to see if someone can import it?

open in the free Teigha Viewer and save down to the DWG v2000 format.

Draftsight also works very well, and it has a free version.

the Teigha Viewer is free, a full blown CAD system overkill for doing this... especially with DraftSight (OEM Graebert CAD) using the Teigha DXF/DWG engine anyhow.

Thanks for the tip on the Teigha viewer. I converted all the files. And autocad or dwgviewer do not give any erros anymore. However. The sketchup import still fails.
I want to share an example file, but it will give errors because you won't have the necessary x-refs. So I would have to send the complete dossier and that would be confidential
.Any other ideas?

Hey, thanks for the Teigha viewer tip. I installed it and converted all the files. The dwf viewer does not give any errors anymore so I figured it would work in sketchup too. Unfortunately it didn't. I don't know why. I would like to share the file but then I would would have to share all the xrefs, and i'm afraid it would be confidential.
Any other ideas?

Hello,
I know this topic is open a long time but i had the same problem and i found out that when you "explode" all your lines in the AutoCad drawing and then save the drawing again it will load into SketchUp when imported as a DWG-file.
