Can't open a dwg file after importing

fred38K3E · ‎12-22-2019

I have an architect dwg that I'm hoping I could turn into a 3D-printable model of the new building. However after I import the dwg, it just sits there in my Data Panel. Only options are Share Public Link, Rename, Delete, Move, and Copy. Is there a way to open it up in Fusion so I can start trying to make it a printable object? Problematic dwg attached. TIA

The drawing is probably not opening because there are two missing reference files within it. If you open it in AutoCAD and remove these files it opens in Fusion 360 without issue.

Thanks. I don’t have AutoCAD or control of the dwg file but I’ve asked to owner to make the changes (crickets so far).

@fred38K3E If you are using a personal license you can't import DWG files, you'll need to use DXF.

Hi Mark, may I ask what is DXF? We're using a "personal use" version of Fusion 360, and I'm having the same issues trying to import and open a simple 1-D .dwg file. Thanks.

I could not find any "References" on my headings. So it was no help to me

Attach your DWG so the Forum users can take a look at it.
