https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/solid-works-file-translation/m-p/5511329#M32117 <P>There are certainly some functionality differences between AutoCAD for the Windows Operating System and AutoCAD for the Mac OS (<A href="http://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/compare/compare-platforms" target="_self">AutoCAD: Compare Platforms</A>).&nbsp; That being said, our development team is aware of this limitation within the AutoCAD for Mac with regards to importing the SolidWorks file format.&nbsp; They are investigating to see if a resolution can be found.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>That being said, I can certainly understand the frustration that this situation can cause.&nbsp; There is a workaround that may be viable for you.&nbsp; The license for AutoCAD is cross-platform.&nbsp; This means that you can use your serial number for both AutoCAD for Mac and the Windows version.&nbsp; Though you are using a Mac workstation, there are some options to be able to use the Windows OS.</P> <UL> <LI>Use a virtual machine (“Parallels”) to run the Windows OS</LI> <LI>Use “BootCamp” to run the Windows OS on your hard drive directly. This will allow you to either boot up the workstation using the Mac or Windows OS (<A href="https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/" target="_self">BootCamp – Apple Support</A>)</LI> </UL> <P>Best Regards,&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:30:09 GMT Steve_Bessette 2015-02-18T15:30:09Z
