Getting Autocad geometry into F360 sketch

[Anonymous]

I have uploaded ACad 2007 geometry (xrefs purged) into a F360 project folder. I wish to get this geometry (lines only) into the first sketch I created but haven't been able to do so. The geometry opens in its own file, so I tried copy/paste into the first sketch (and also tried canvas), but it does not work.

Thanks much, Brian Chapman

Rt-Clk on the file, select Insert into Current Design. That worked for me, elementary (except it wasn't for me).

Follow-up question, though. There are a couple of ACad geometry lines in the sketch I would like to delete but haven't been able to. Maybe I should Rt-Clk on one and see what happens.

If you want to use your AutoCAD file in your sketch, save the AutoCAD file as a DXF and then use the "Insert DXF" function in Fusion 360 to add it to your sketch.

Excellent, I'll give that a try today after work. Thanks much. -Brian
