Do you mean dimension lines or edge lines (or something else)?

The only way to render lines is using the wireframe / edgeline feature. It can be enabled for materials in the template material editor or it can be created custom in the deep material editor.

If you are talking about any other kind of line, including dimension lines, the only way I can think of is to composite a line drawing from SketchUp using a style created for that purpose in post-process. Maybe we can get some other good suggestions from the SU experts.

Thanks, Chris!

I would have like that the lines are visible, but with edge lines visible the non visible lines too. I will make it pro process.

Have you got a screen grab to explain your needs further?
If you can import the lines from AutoCAD to SKUP, you can export an image, then overlay it over your rendered image using an image editor.
If the lines in ACAD are hatching, it won't be transferred into SKUP, unless you explode the hatch prior to importing.
