importing from AutoCad 2004 to 3d max 5

Hi:

I am trying to import a drawing from AutoCad 2004 into 3d max 5. (I've tried solids as well as simple line drawings). Apparently this should be very straight forward, and i donīt get any error messages or anything, but I can't see anything when I'm done. Is there more to this than I think?

Thankyou for your help.

Do you see anything using the select by name dialog (H key)? Maybe your model is scaled very small?
