Importing templates

lukasz_piziak

Hi,
I have an issue with templates created in Autocad as dwt files. When imported it shows white page without template details. 
Can anyone advise how to fixed this issue?

My understanding is that, having saved as dxf or dwg from an external program, you then have to change the file extension to dwt by editing the filename before it can be imported for use as a template.

1. Create template in (auto)cad and save as dwt
2. Import to Onshape

@ lukasz_piziak ,Please save your template in DXF file extension and try it.

Hi Narayan, If I import this file as a dxf extension it would be visible as a template?

Sorry for the confusion.Please save your template in DXF file from Autocad itself then import it to Onshape.
OR you can try with DWG format also
