Here are the detailed steps to convert a 2D AutoCAD file (.dwg) into a solid model using SolidWorks: Open SolidWorks and click on "File" > "Open" to import the .dwg file. Once open, use the "Design Tree" panel to select all entities (such as lines, arcs, etc.) that make up the 2D drawing. Next, go to "Tools" > "Convert Entities" and choose "2D Sketch" from the dropdown menu. SolidWorks will automatically convert the selected entities into a 2D sketch, which can be modified or edited as needed. To create a solid model from this 2D sketch, select all entities in the Design Tree panel and right-click on them to access the context menu. From here, choose "Convert Entities" > "3D Solid" to convert the 2D sketch into a 3D solid model. SolidWorks will automatically create a new solid body based on the selected entities, which can be edited or modified as needed using various tools and features within the software.
