Jim -- They seem to like AutoCad 2000 and can do IGES (which doesn't re-import back into VW cleanly for me), Step & X_T -- and of course SW native..
Kevin -- I'll try all, one at a time. Expecially the 3D view (your online help ticket guy also recommends that).
Thanks guys. Let you know.

Still using pre-parasolid VW 2008. Do both architecture and mechanical, but infrequently. Possible first 3D submittal from VW to CAM via Solidworks 2019 front end at CAM shop. Sample top/plan dxf conversion file submitted below. Pict of export panel also submitted below.
Problem: Solidworks import sees top/plan as static 2D view without any apparent 3D properties.
Meanwhile, this file imports back into a newly launched VW fully 3D functional.
Please advise.
Appreciatively,
Bob

Okay. I see the coordinate bar thing. Awkward, especially for editing object attributes. Why isn't this all built into the Object Info pallet after the fashion of the 2D objects?

Okay. I'm wading through the tutorials. Never have used 3D with VW, even though I go way back to MiniCad. But I have used Pro/E extensively in my corporate job.
Question: In 2D the location of objects is given and editable in the Object Info pallet. But in 3D, I don't see the equivalent capability (at least with the 3D objects directly created). Basically, I'm lost in space. So how do I determine the spatial coordinates of 3D objects (i.e., i, j & k with respect to some reference point on the object)? BTW, VW 2008.
Appreciatively,

Shop using SW 2019 cannot 3D render DXF export.

Final solution for me to export a valid 3D part file from VW 2008 to a particular fab shop's SW 2019.
1) Yes, import from a 3D view and not the top/plan view.
2) Remove all other assembly layers except for the subject part.
3) Export as IGES with the NURBS option selected.
Thanks guys!
