Exported dwg not see in AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

If i export a drawing to DWG, and open in autocad i see the file only in the sheet layout, and not on the model layout.

It would be good for future work to see it on the model layout.

Can you help me, how could i solve this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for posting!

This is something that can be done today, however there is a little bit of work that you have to put in currently. The article linked here contains a screencast that walks you through this process. Would you mind having a look at the screencast and letting me know if that's what you would like to accomplish?

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Cheers,

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your help.

I tried this method you linked, but isn't work well.

I'm attaching the screenshoots. The only i see, is the dimensions.

Any other idea maybe?

Thanks a lot,

Paul

Hi Paul,

In the Windows version of AutoCAD or ACAD LT you can use the EXPORTLAYOUT command to move the layout entities to Model Space (from the Paper Space). In the Mac version of AutoCAD, but this command is NOT available on the Mac version. 

There are some suggestions on the below AutoCAD discussion board that may help you to work around this limitation.

One user is recommending to insert the SAT file of the model exported from Fusion 360's model workspace.

Another option might be to export out a DXF of the results in AutoCAD and then re-import them. 

Have you tried using the PDFIMPORT command in AutoCAD for Mac? Fusion can generate a PDF from a 2D drawing. I'm not sure which version of AutoCAD you're using, but I hope these suggestions help!

Thanks,
