Re: solidworks stalling
your dxf may be too large. can you take small pieces (individual views) and import them one at a time?

Re: solidworks stalling
Try purging your DWG file before importing. Also you can remove the unwanted stuff prior to import. Alternatively you can try copy (from DWG/DXF) and paste (in an open sketch or drawing in SW)

Re: solidworks stalling
The import still stalls my soildworks. could it be a problem with my operating system?

Re: solidworks stalling
I imported it in about 5 seconds here.....
Have you tried a re-install etc? also, could you say what steps you take to import it?

Re: solidworks stalling
Just noticed, in your first post you say inserted. do you mean imported or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Re: solidworks stalling
Sorry, i meant import.
I have carried out a clean installation of solidworks, but it doesnt help.

Re: solidworks stalling
A.D.D. moment here… I usually go into the DWG/DXF and relocate the origin (move everything relative to 0,0,0) to the place I want it to be in SolidWorks. Come to think of it, your origin may be so far away that the drawing is too big for SolidWorks. Also, when you say import do you mean that you do a File>open and then change the file type?

Re: solidworks stalling
David,
Shamal has posted this error on my behalf.
I have tried 2 ways to bring in a dxf file.
1. File - open - and then change the file type
2. Start a new sketch on the front plane by going: Insert > Dxf/dwg and choosing file.
Most of our old drawings are located at center 0, 0.
After you select the dxf file, the popup screen appears for you to select the options you require. This is the point where solidworks stalls. You cannot select any of the options.

Re: solidworks stalling
I have found the cause of the problem. The service pack seems to be the culprit. I have uninstalled Solidworks completely and reinstalled Solidworks 2010 Sp0 and every thing works fine. However, the dxf problem comes back the moment I install any of the service packs. Anyone has an idea why a service pack would cause such a problem?
