SYMPTOMS
When you open a file that contains simple 3D geometry in a computer-aided design (CAD) display object, the 3D geometry is not visible in the CAD display object.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Microsoft Office Visio 2007 and Microsoft Office Visio 2003 do not support the display of simple 3D geometry in CAD display objects.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use AutoCAD to degenerate 3D solids to 3D faces before you try to open the CAD display object in Visio.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
