surface to solid conversion

Hello Everybody,
I had a question about creation of solids. I have recieved a .dwg
file, except all the parts are surfaces instead of solids. I am
accustomed to working with solids in Mechanical Desktop. Is there any
way to convert these surfaces to solids? Some of them are fairly
complex in shape and would be very difficult and time-consuming to
create on my own (as solids) from scratch. Any ideas? Thanks alot.
