Is It Possible to Import and/or Export DWG in SketchUp 8?

- The answer is very simple: you can only import or export DXF or DWG files in SketchUp Pro 8. The free version doesn't have (and won't have) these features, according to Google. - What can I do, then? - you must be wondering. - The simplest solution is to keep (or install) an older version of SketchUp on your computer just to convert the files. Remember that version 6, for example, accepts older .dwg formats. In this case, save your .dwg in an older version (2004, for example), open it in SketchUp 6, save the file, and open it in version 8. To convert the file from version 8 into .dwg, do the reverse. - But how do I find an old version of SketchUp? - There are some download sites - legitimate ones, it must be stressed - that still keep old versions of SketchUp available for download. Google itself keeps old versions on the SketchUp website, but it takes a bit of patience to find them. - Ah, I find this all complicated. Isn't there another way? - There are two. The first is to use .dwg to .kmz or .dae importers/exporters, but that's also a complicated procedure with no guarantee it will work well. We're running some tests, and if we get good results we'll post them here. - Updated on 11/17: Sensational new post on Dicas de SketchUp: how to import DXF again in free SketchUp!!! http://wp.me/pWzpo-5w - The other way is to buy SketchUp Pro.
