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?

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?

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
Kristien
