    I am importing a DXF created in a 2D CAD package, into Solidworks.
    However, I wish to import to the Top Plane, not the Front Plane. Any
    ideas!
    Cheers guys and gals,
    BG

    I was waiting for JB to answer this, but I'm sure it beneath him now
    that he's plagorizing new people.


    1. Start a new model.

    2. Select the plane you would like to import the dwg/dxf onto -FIRST-

    3. Insert DXF/DWG

    4. Enjoy


    JB ran a demo program that changes the order of the import above that
    improves efficiency by 400%
    So all you need to do is -think- about import a DWG/DXF and it's
    done....all constrainted too and emailed to the CNC shop that pays YOU
    to do your job.

    Thanks CC, I didn't realize it was that easy......!
    I always look for the most difficult way first!
    Cheers!

    Another option when the sketch is already made:
    Right-Click on the sketch in the feature tree and choose "Edit sketch
    plane", then choose the top plane.
