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.5

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

Hi Narayan, If I import this file as a dxf extension it would be visible as a template?0

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
