For me it DID NOT WORK WITH DWG format, however when I saved my illustrator file as DXF format (the similar format) everything worked pervectly. Note that in Solidworks you have to select the plane first, so at first you need to click on a plane in a modeling tree, the plane where you want to insert your DXF file should be active. And only then you use the tool Insert DWG/DXF and it will work.
brilliant !!!!!! You saved my life !!!
Great Video!
