[Framers] Import AutoCad dwg files

[Shmuel Wolfson]

   Try File>Import>Object instead of File>Import>File.
   I think that should work.

   Well, AutoCad (DWG) is in the list of file formats in the Import
   dialog, so I suppose Frame should be able to import it.
   Our current workaround is to export the AutoCad drawings to PDF and
   import PDF, which works nicely.

     Is frame supposed to be able to import that format?
     One option is to open it in CorelDraw and save it as CorelDraw.

     Hi group
     Has anyone ever succeeded in importing AutoCad .dwg files into
     FrameMaker?
     I've tested this with several versions of dwg files (2000 and 2010)
     and
     Frame 11 and 12, but I keep getting the error message "The filter
     encountered an error and could not complete the translation".
     Thanks
