Export to AutoCAD in SW 2005
(OP)
What is the export capabilities of SW 2005 to AutoCAD? We are looking at getting a SW installation but will need newly created drawings to be able to be exported to our existing Autocad drawing system to allow updates on older drawings. What formats are supported?

Also, SolidWorks 2005 Office Prof comes with DWGEditor (AutoCAD emulator).

How do you convert a Solidworks drawing that is multi-sheet into Autocad 2000?
When I try to do this, the current drawing tab goes into the Autocad model tab and no tabs are created for the other sheets. You have to make a separate dwg file for each sheet. I tried selecting all of the tabs but it didn't work.

Do you trust you intuition or go with the flow?

Go to Start > All Programs > SolidWorks ???? > SolidWorks Task Scheduler. It has its own Help files.

Task Scheduler did not come out till version 2004 and then I believe you had to have at least the Office package to get it.

We have configuration management with major aerospace/military customers, and we have to follow strict guidelines.
So, if someone here wants to design in ACAD, and send it to me for SolidWorks modelling, I will not use it. And if someone wants a file imported into ACAD from SW, I don't give it to them. I stick to my standards.
Sorry for rambling.
