Import splines and wire data in Iges file
Unfortunately, no. Both IGES and STEP only import surfaces and solids into Fusion, none of the curve or "wireframe" geometry today.

Unfortunately, again, no, sorry, this is not in our immediate plans. However, you're the second person just this week: importing-quot-wires-quot-entity-type-from-step-files.
I don't know of a workaround, to be honest.
It would be good to capture this in an Fusion 360 idea station request. If enough people need this capability, then it will get prioritized

DWG files will import with solids and curves, if the curves are on layers each layer is turned into a sketch. Here's an example.

You might want to start another thread asking about editing splines and 3d curves, I've not tried what you're trying to do. Can you attaches an example DWG I'd like to see why it doesn't import.

Hi @Anonymous, I completely agree that importing wires from IGES and STEP is a useful capability. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. It's just a question of priority. We initially set the priority higher for surface and solid translation, because that seemed the more common use case. That's why adding the idea station request will help us. As I said above, you're the second person this week that has requested this. That indicates the start of a trend, I think. We just need to get the priority of this task raised to the point where this gets on the Fusion road map.
