Good morning, I have a different issue when  import a dwg file in AutoCad I can't edit Or copy it to another form. When I try to export it to other formats there are some missing parts.i have checked a lot and it's problem is with the file. My object is not a solid file and I cannot convert it to a solid with any commands I have searched a lot and now I'm done. Can you guys pls fix it.  I will upload the dwg file( it is downloaded from grabcad)

The program that created the import file is most likely not creating a 100% compatible AutoCAD drawing. The same problem is true when you use that other program to open an AutoCAD exported file. Perhaps you can go to that programs support site to request for assistance?

@aravindsajish04 GRABCAD support is at
https://help.grabcad.com/?locale=en

 

What file formats are you trying to export this DWG file to in AutoCAD exactly? You never say, and you never explain what errors AutoCAD reported with each export at the commandline (which needs to be 3-5-10 lines tall for this excercise)?

Are these the missing items by chance? You don't ever state which ones in your post.

Bonjour @aravindsajish04 

 

You can try to run the command -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD.

But I’m not sure that you will be able to modify the entities obtained by this transformation

Sir my problem is when I try to copy it or move it to another side it's not
happening. When I try to convert it to solid it says water mesh error. Can
you guys pls try to reedit the file. And as a beginner in auto cad it will
be very helpful to me. All you have to do is refix the errors in the file
and save it as a stl. Before when I try to export the object as stl only
some objects (solids) are get converted. Pls help me....

STL requires all elements of your model to be 3DSOlids: nothing more. That is an AutoCAD requirement.

 

Most of the elements in your model are not, you'll have to do all the work yourself (don't forget to explode all of your blocks and those 3rd party elements).

 

Since you are new to the program, you can explore these online tutorials to start your conversions

https://www.google.com/search?q=autocad+tip%3A+how+to+convert+everything+to+3dsolid  

 

See attached as @-didier- suggested to use for your conversion to 3DSOLIDS first before generating an STL in AutoCAD.
