&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You need to have IGS files from Solidworks to import into AutoCAD. The other file types (parts and assemblies) can be brought into Inventor &amp;nbsp;and then exported to AutoCAD.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have a file or files you would like me to look at, please attach them to a post.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've been trying to import a solidworks file into both Autocad 2015 and 2017 with no success... I am running it in Mac OS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have tried the import command and following the various instructions around the support site, but it within any sort of pull down menu I can find the&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.sldasm and .sldprt extensions are not available, and when I try an any file option, importing it does nothing. Or seems to do nothing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any pointers?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Oh, also the Solidworks file is 2017 version apparently.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;C&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi C,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;AutoCAD for Mac can import only ASIS solids in SAT format.&lt;BR /&gt;You need to use other converter to convert Solidworks file to DWG or to DXF.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maxim</description>

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;NO worries - I couldn't get them into Inventor or Inventor Pro either! &amp;nbsp;All the files returned errors. &amp;nbsp;When they are exported however in IGS or STEP format then they come into Inventor just fine.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Where are these files originating? Can you have them sent to you in either of these formats?&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Mega.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wasn't being a complete buffoon&amp;nbsp;then... &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@38DF24EF580240D512020314976B5FC8/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:" title=":cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I drew the front/rear/layout of this in autocad 2015 and then sent it off to a place to get manufactured, (Hooray!)...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have to modify some of the internal parts I drew to fit around the fixings/case bits they drew, and so got this sent back to me to deal with that... I am fairly certain they can send me a dwg/dxf/something else if I ask politely, but I figured that I should be able to deal with it myself using the tools I had to hand and the power of google. (£$%^&amp;amp;*^%&amp;amp;*^%^$&amp;amp;!!!.) I was fairly certain it was just me doing something stupid...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its raised a few&amp;nbsp;questions about CAD formats and importing and why those things are different between mac and windows versions of autocad, but I suspect thats a can of worms that I probably should know just enough to do what I want to do!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm guessing it has something to do with the version it was saved in (I think Solidworks 2017??)...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll give them a shout tomorrow and see what appears.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks a bazzillliionnnn. I was definitely stuck.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;C&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yea - you aren't crazy!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There is something strange with their files. I was able to open it in 2016 Solidworks too which makes this even stranger. &amp;nbsp;If you find out what they used to work with the files or the version of Solidworks that would be helpful to avoid this in the future.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
