Export DWG to Visio

TwistedLogic

Due to Fusion 360's inability to either A. support multiple models in a single 2d drawing and B. support multi-page drawings, I need to use Visio to compile multi-page assembly drawings for complex assemblies.  I can export a DWG file from my 2d drawing, but when I try to import it like any other DWG into Visio I get a corrupted file error.

 

1.  Am I missing something obvious?  (Probable answer...)

 

2.  Is there some better way to do what I need to?

Here's a couple of links that explain the problem with the DWG files.

@TwistedLogic, current the output DWG is AutoCAD 2013 version, while Visio (2013) can't handle this version DWG file. If you have AutoCAD or other application, you could save as DWG file to DXF 2007 version, then it could be inserted into Visio. It's on our schedule to improve the output DWG function, but not sure when might finish it yet, will try keep you updated. Thanks for sharing with us!
