Hi,
I succesfully upload same drawing in .dxf and .dwg format but cannot view/edit de drawings.
I've got no preview, either.
Same thing happens when importing .sldprt files.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you in advance!!

    Hi @agustin_gonzalez - when you import a valid file into Onshape it will be automatically translated into a new tab where it can be viewed.

    Hi Neil!
    Can I somehow copy/paste from that drawing to a sketch?

    Are there limitations for the uploaded files to be valid?

    Thanks again!!

    Some of them (.dxf) are translated, others not.
    .sldprt are never translated.

    Is there any limit on the size?

    Hi Agustin, to import DXF into a sketch, upload the file then in a Part Studio create a new sketch and use the Import DXF button. SLDPRT files only translate solid or surface geometry not sketch geometry.
