Import DWG to create drawing file

Hello,

I am a recent NX convert from SolidWorks, and am having difficulty replicating one of the things that I found useful in SolidWorks.

I wish to import a drawing in DWG format to use as a template for an NX drawing file. In SolidWorks, you could open a new drawing file and simply drop the DWG file in. However, importingthe DWG file in a new NX drawing does not seem to do anything, despite going through the usual command prompt-style dialogue. Opening a DWG imports the file into a new modelling file, which I do not want.

I have tried importing the DWG using the 'Import DWG/DXF' tool and the 'Import AutoCAD block' tool, and neither have worked.

The screenshot on the top, the block importer, recognises the file components but doesnt have any option to actually execute the import command, whilst the one on the bottom, the DWG/DXF importer, clearly recognises the contents of the dwg but doesn't actually create any geometry when the command is completed.

I'm baffled, but perhaps I don't understand what I'm doing enough. I realise that this is a long post, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
