Importing CadKey to Solidworks

Attempting to import a Cadkey file. File size indicates there is something there. But, when the file is opened, there is a an empty screen with no features shown. Anybody else seen this problem? Customers CadKey version is 6.5.2.

Try zooming to fit. The geometry may simply be displaced far from the origin

A CADKey file that old could very well be wireframe and 2D only, and thus will not display much of anything when converted.
Try the Kubutec Spectrum Lite Viewer and use that to determine if the CADKey file has any solid bodies in it.
