Importing dwg files

[thomasf]

I'm trying to import a dwg file into an interior elevation view and nothing happens. The first time I tried it I got a warning saying some or all of the dta may not be visible check the visibilty graphics etc. So I turned off the cut plane and tried again. The command was executed and nothing showed up on the screen. I check the VG and on the Imported tabs the drawing name & layers showed up I just can't see it to overlay it properly. I can insert it into a drafting view and that's not what I want. Any help?

Be sure to chck the box at the bottom of the import dialogue to Orient to View

You have to check in plan where the line defining the elevation is. To do so, just click at the elevation head symbol. Usually when importing a dwg into an interior elevation view using center to center, it will put the dwg behind the elevation line. If that's the case, just move that line to a position before the imported dwg "plane".
