    Default Import Failed when attempting to import Solidworks Model into AutoCAD

    I am trying to import an entire Solidworks project into AutoCAD. The solidworks files were made by someone else and I do not know the version they are using.

    I am simply using the "Import" button in the ribbon. I can see all the files in the browser but each time I select and import it says "Import Failed" (See attached image).

    The versions of CAD I have tried using are AutoCAD Architecture 2015 and AutoCAD MEP 2014 and I get the same Import Failed message in each. I have been given one .SLDASM file and 4 different .SLDPRT files and one .SLDDRW file from the customer and I cannot import any of them.

    I am not at all familiar with Solidworks and my CAD skills are super rusty as I mostly am a Revit user.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
