Question

AutoCad 2d to Creo 3D

I have an AutoCad drawing and I would like to create 3d part in Creo. What is the best way to preform this operation.

Thanks

There is the option to use AutobuildZ to semi automate this process. I have never used this, I just build the models from scratch.

About AutobuildZ (ptc.com)

 

I would typically import some drawing views using trace sketch functionality and rebuild the part using the views as a visual guide.

Info on how to import the drawing views into Creo.

    Thank you for the information, Unfortunately, I do not have the dimensions to create a model.

    Do you have any type of scale reference for the 2D data that you have? Share an image of the drawing to get more specific suggestions.

    I usually just import the cad in to the model. I orient the import based on a coordinate system. If it's anything complicated, I will import autocad in 3 or more views (all based on coord systems to get the orientation I need and use those views to project sketches and create the geometry.

    The only Dimension that I have is an Outside diameter. My model in Autocad is 1:1. I have created a .dxf file but I can not extrude once i bring the file into the Creo sketch. I have verified all polylines in my Autocad drawing are closed but I can not get the part to extrude. I am just looking for the simplest way to create a model from the 2D Autocad model. Any specific steps to try without download any 3rd part software?

    A sketch is just a sketch.

    Bring the import in to a part file and you can make sketches needed from there.
