Here are the steps to import a DXF from Artec Studio to Solidworks:
- Export the sections from Artec Studio by clicking Export... from the Measures panel
- Save the sections as a .DXF file
- Open Solidworks
- If there is a Welcome screen at startup, click Part. If there is no Welcome screen at startup, click File>New... then select Part
- Next, select the plane where you would like to place the sections
- Go to Insert>DXF/DWG...
-
- The DXF/DMG import tool will open. Under "Import to part as", select 3D Curves or model and select Next
- Verify the units are correct. By default, Artec Studio exports in mm, although this can be changed in Artec Studio settings
- Click Next
- Tumble the model and verify that the sections have imported correctly
