For some time we used AutoCAD 2004, and if you selectedseveral lines and pressed ctrl-c to copy them, then pasted theminto a solidworks sketch, they would be converted into solidworkssketch entities. If they sketcher wasn't open, they would be pastedinto a new sketch created automatically. This was very convenient.
Since switching to Vista and AutoCAD 2009, however, the featuresget pasted into Solidworks as an AutoCAD OLE object, and aretherefore completely worthless to me. Now, all i can do is either1) redraw by hand 2) open the entire drawing in solidworks firstand let it convert it, or 3) use DWG Editor, which I don't evenhave installed because I have real AutoCAD.
Anybody know how to get the old 2004 functionality back? I wouldn'texactly call myself an AutoCAD pro so I'm sure there's somethingI'm missing...SolidworksSketching
