Importing 2D geometry

- [Instructor] When dealing with legacy data from previous designs, we often come across 2D file formats, such as DWG, and DXF files. SOLIDWORKS has the ability to import these into parts or create new drawings in the SOLIDWORKS format if necessary. Like 3D data, SOLIDWORKS has the ability to import many different kinds of 2D data. This can be the AutoCAD native DWG file format or the non-gender specific, or universal, DFX file format, which is most commonly found.
