The DWG and DXF files actually seems to be loading in something, but nothing shows up in MC9, file is totally blank. I've tried saving in 6 different orientations (read somewhere that top in SW is front in MC9)
Is it impossible to import from SW2011 to MC9?
This is getting extremely frustrating as I've spent well over 16 hours total trying to get this to work. My employer do not want to spend 50-60k SEK (about 9k USD) on a new version of Mastercam. *banging head on desk and ripping my hair out*
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The design is pure 2D at this stage. In the future i will have to import 3D designs as well though.
