file conversion "flavors"

[kkominiarek]

When importing/converting a dwg file....Do I have any control as to what gets converted or what does not get converted? If the file does not convert properly (I don't get all dimensions or a surface is missing), is there any options or settings I can tinker with to improve my results?

 

These questions would also apply if I was converting a dxf,iges, step or para-solid file.

 

As always, advice from the forum is appeciated!

As for DWG this about the only settings.

On the new one being V9 it supports back farther.

Jay, use alt-PrtSC to make your screen captures nicely trimmed.
