Default Failure to upload *.dwg file

Hi there guys

I have been trying to upload a CAD file (*.dwg) by using the VisualTool>>Imported Shape in Flexsim 6.02. Whenever i select the *.dwg file, nothing happens. I don't have AutoCAD installed on my system - I do posses all the *.dwg files I require.

Any suggestions to make this work? Some of the drawings are rather large, don't know whether this could be an issue!

Regards

Rikus

Hi

It could due to your scale. Please play around with the SX, SY and SZ. I guessed most likely when you set 0.001, you should be able to see. Else you can send me your file and let me take a look.

Regards

David

Hi David,

Unfortunately I cannot upload the drawing as it contains confidential information, and I have played with most of the SX SY and SZ settings....to no avail. I'm open to any other suggestions!
