You should be able to attach a dwf file inside of AutoCAD just like you would xref a dwg file. You can't just open the dwf file using AutoCAD but you should be able to attach it. If you can't do this, can you attach the dwf file to this thread so I can test with your file?
Thanks
I might be missing something but there was no file attached to the post.
I tried to reply via email. maybe that didnt work. here are the files mentioned before.

I got the same error message when i tried to xref it into an autocad drawing. I tried saving it as a dwfx and xrefing it in and got the same result. I finally imported it back into Navisworks and saved it as a fbx drawing and then imported into autocad but nothing came thru.
Unfortunately I am out of Ideas. Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Well, Thats disappointing. I was hoping for a solution.
Do you know if Navisworks Manage offers any other options? I may try to get a license for my company to see if I can make something useful out of these model. Simulate doesnt seem to be working.
thats a weird one
opens up fine in Navisworks & design review but Autocad says its corrupt
no clue on this one

Instead of a navisworks file can you get the original file from the contractor who created it? You are trying to work with a file that has been converted to dwf. To make matters worse the original file was converted to an nwc or nwd before it was converted to a dwf. In this case it might just be better to try and obtain the original file and bring it in to AutoCAD MEP.
