does any one knows how to import my dwg file done in autocad 2007 to the viz 2007 and put some navigations and minimap?

What do you mean by "navigations and minimap"?

import - tnx it works..

i mean in navigation how can i walkthrough on my 3d file? coz my project is all about a virtual map. i put up my 3d buildings in autocad 2007, all i need to do now is to have it to navigate, as if you were inside that virtual map that you can walk through in the buildings? (that's why i need to import my dwg file in viz 2007) )and while moving you will see your location in a minimap. will my explanation is too hard to understand but i really hope that you can answer my problem. tnx.

Well, what you are asking is best left to a training class on how to use VIZ. If you are ambitious, you can use the tutorials/help system (which are pretty good) to look up the following items:

Assign a camera to a path
Frames
Frames per second
Keyframes/keyframing

Basically, once you have your model imported, you will create a path (2d spline), assign your camera to follow it and set the number of frames to the desired length. You can assign keyframes to limit the duration the camera spends traveling it too.
