Tips for import large DWG and DXF files into SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS:

SOLIDWORKS is a mechanical design automation software that is a feature-based, parametric solid modeling design tool. You can create entirely associated 3D solid models with or without constraints while utilizing automatic or user-defined relations to capture design intent.

IMPORT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

SOLIDWORKS offers improved performance for importing certain file types. Performance is improved for importing A large DXF or DWG file into a part sketch.

You can import a large DXF or DWG file into a part sketch with the Explode Block option turned off in SOLIDWORKS. You no longer need to explode the blocks to improve import performance.+

IMPORTING SELECTIVE IFC ENTITIES FROM IFC FILES

SOLIDWORKS

You can select which IFC entities to import from the IFC files by defining filters in System Options.

The file format, IFC, is added to Tools > Options > System Options > Import > File Format.

To import selective IFC entities from IFC files:

  1. In an IFC file, click Tools > Options > System Options > Import.
  2. Under File Format, select IFC.
  3. Under Entities to import, expand the IFC entities under Classification.
  4. Under Import, select the IFC entities to import.
  5. Click OK.

After you open the IFC file, only the IFC entities that you specified in the System Options dialog box are imported.
