Transform your 2D DWG drawings into 3D sheet metal parts using SOLIDWORKS. In this quick GoEngineer tutorial, we guide you through importing legacy 2D data directly into a 3D environment.

Learn how to clean up your file by removing unwanted drawing layers to isolate critical geometry. Next, discover how to use the powerful "Convert Entities" tool to repurpose existing sketch geometry instantly. Finally, we demonstrate how to apply "Sketched Bend" commands to accurately fold your sheet metal design into shape.

Maximize your design efficiency and eliminate human error today!
