    I have converted several sldrw to dwg format.

    Once I go into autocad and try to import the new drawing format all I get is
    an empty a3 drawing sheet.

    The preview window in autocad shows the correct drawing, but once I press
    open I get the empty sheet.

    Its the first time this has happened. Although come to think of it, this is
    the first time I have converted it in sw2006. Previous successful attempts
    was done with sw2005.

    Try a ZOOM|ALL or ZOOM|EXTENTS it may come into view.

    I have noticed that a shaded view in a slddrw file will not import into
    DWG files. Call it a bug, but I haven't found a way to work around it
    other than changing the slddrw views to "Hidden Lines Removed" or other
    wireframe views. If you do that, the views come through fine.
