Importing other file types not working

[bdhammel]

Hi all,

I'm trying to import other files and can't get it working. I've tried .sat, .stp, .igs, and even .dxf and nothing works.

To import .sat I've been doing insert > ACIS file > open

For .stp, .ign and .dxf I've been doing FIle > import > open

When I do this, nothing happens.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thank,

Ben

Hi Ben,

In AutoCAD for Mac you can only import .SAT files (via insert > ACIS file, or File > import), .stp and .igs doesn't supported. I don't have .SAT files, but I was able to open sample .SAT files from here:

To open DXF file you have to select File->Open and in File format drop-down list select .DXF filter.

Hi thanks for your reply,

Those sample .sat files worked fine. There must be a problem with the other file I was trying to import.
