I'm in need of the the whole assembly.

Gave it a shot, let me know.... 

I used the following workflow via the Autodesk Knowledge Network

No issues or errors on the import using AutoCAD 2017 and the above workflow.

That's the same process that I usually use to import solidworks files off of grabcad, not sure why I keep getting an import fail in my Autocad 2016.

Doesn't matter tho since you supplied the dwg, thanks!

No problem, good for me also as I haven't had to import a Solidworks model for a while, good refresher. Also, I wasn't aware of the GrabCAD website, now I do, thanks for the kudos, have a great day!

What version of SolidWorks were the files created in (AutoCAD 2016 will read up to SolidWorks 2015).

What version of AutoCAD is @Cadologist using?

I used AutoCAD 2017 to import the sldasm file, no errors on the import, did a save as to AutoCAD DWG version 2013 (typical for 2013 through 2017) file type. I am unsure what version the Solidworks file was/is.
