I reset everything before it worked again. Thank you!! I don't know if I would have been able to find that on my own.

I am using X13.

Thank you for the advice. This time it is not working. I can import a pdf, picture, or even a symbol but not a dwg. Strange.

I installed an update a couple days ago. Now, when I select import dwg nothing happens. The tool bar containing File, Edit, Terrain, etc is grayed out and there is not a window to select a file to open. Everything on screen is froze, I have to hit escape in order to get out of it. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I think I've got it now. It appears something had changed in my AutoCAD Layers properties manager. Thank you all for your suggestions!

Sorry, I'm referring to the materials as layers. I am guessing it is a problem in AutoCAD. I'm taking a Solidworks file, saving it as a step file. Then I import it into AutoCAD and explode it. I then create a layer for every different material. I created 12 different layers in AutoCAD so there would be 12 different materials in Chief Architect. I am then able to apply different wood grain, metal finishes and fabrics to the symbol. But with this model I am missing the materials I have named Layers 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12.

Hello, I'm new to the form. My question is if anyone else is losing CAD layers while using Import 3D Symbol? I have a model that in AutoCAD contained 12 Layers. When I bring it into CAx11 it only has 4 layers plus the default Layer 0. I did not run into this in x9 and x10.
