    Hi, I'm new to solidworks, anyway, I have an AutoCad file that has 4
    views on it (Top,Left,Right and Bottom) that I have been trying to
    convert to a 3D part. I get it to the point where all you see is each
    face, but am stuck on how to connect each of the edges to form a 3D
    part. Can anyone out there enlighten me?

    Thanks!

    Imported AutoCad Data",.. that should you with your question?

    Hi,

    I found redrawing is not slow too much than convertion, and its
    quality is much better than convertion. You know, AutoCAD drawing
    always full of false dimesions made in modifications. So I do not
    believe the length is equal to the dimension say. I always redraw them
    and get a believable model.
