CAD is mainly a graphic design software used for three-view design. Machinery or metal companies will have processing parts, and they must first produce drawings. CAD is basically used to design and print out the drawings. Let me introduce to you how to import cad into ug

The methods and steps for importing cad into ug:

The first step: import your DWG (CAD format) or DXF ( CAD format) saved folder can be imported directly into UG.

Step 2: Open UG-File-Import-DWG/DXF-Select DWG/DXF file-OK

Note:

Saved DWG or Files in DXF format must be in the CD you imported the software from. Before importing, you should create a new folder in the CD you installed the software for saving purposes). The imported graphics may not be visible clearly due to color issues

Extension: Benefits of importing CAD drawings into ug

First: Drawings imported from cad to ug can be directly Based on this, three-dimensional drawings are made, but the three-dimensional operations cannot be performed in UG because the curves made in CAD do not intersect or intersect too much.

Second: Making two-dimensional drawings in UG is much simpler than making two-dimensional drawings in CAD. If you haven’t realized it yet, it can only be said that you haven’t reached that level yet. Ug’s nonsense. The painting is reflected here.

Third: The two-dimensional drawings imported from CAD to ug cannot be designed parametrically (on the original basis). Since then, there have been too many disadvantages.

The biggest difference between 3D in UG and 3D in CAD

The modeling function in AD is relatively simple and not feature-driven, while mechanical 3D software such as UG and Solidworks are Parametric modeling driven by features, in fact, CAD is mainly oriented to two-dimensional drawing, not 3D, while UG is mainly oriented to 3D.

Cad is more general, while UG is more professional. Cad can be used in the construction industry, but UG cannot. UG can cover the entire process from mechanical design to manufacturing, but CAD cannot. This is the difference.
