Not only should you explode, you need to save as an R12 version before exporting the data. Smartcam can't read the newer entities created since R13, R14, and 2000.
 I use the Rhino modeler and just open the R14 dwg files and proceed with modeling/etc and export as either 2D dxf's or standard IGES format.  Rhino makes a great translator as Smartcam reads Rhino translated IGS files to perfection. I never saw Smartcam misread a Rhino IGS file. Rhino reads most every format and can export those formats right into Freeform.

Can anybody tell me why on occasion when importing DXF or DWG files I get a
totally unusable mess.
The elements are imported but have an unknown X value. Y values,lengh of
lines, angles are all there, but no X and if you try and zoom in to anything
nothing happens. also after importing a DWG file I then exported it back out
as  a DWG file and opened it up in Autocad without any problems.
