I am trying to import a DWG to a specific sketch plane but it always goes to the basic one for top down. No matter what I select it always imports there. Is there a way to do this?

i wish… I am so frustrated with shapr3d i’m about to give up and suck up the hit for fusion.

Little late reply, but I am finding a combination of using Shapr3d and FreeCAD is a nice mix for me.
