importing dxf into assembly as sketch

    Is there a simple method of importing a dxf drawing directly into an
    assembly tree (to be used as a layout sketch)? The help refers to importing
    into parts only- it doesn't work for assemblies.

    TIA,

    Steven

    Hi Steven

    When I open the dxf SW asks if it shall open in a drawing or in a
    part/sketch.
    I always open in a part and this is the first part in my assembly. I
    give it a dummy name/number and then i have no problem with my bom.

    Kind regards

    Klaus

    Also

    If you have AutoCad on your system you can open the dxf there and cut and
    paste into any SW sketch.

    Regards
