FILE menu > Libraries & Objects > Open Object.
Browse for an external file and change the file type to DWG and open your DWG file.
Now save it as an object.
Place it in plan and you should be able to see it in 3D as well.

Then it should open as an object script which you can save and then place like any other object.

Once saved go to the object tool and it should be the default object.
If not open the object tool settings and browse to where you saved it.
