DXF from .slddrw without SolidWorks?

DXF from .slddrw without SolidWorks?

DXF from .slddrw without SolidWorks?

(OP)
Our prototype department frequently needs dxf files for various uses--to make cut templates, rout parts, etc.  They currently request those files from us (the drafters); we simply open the .slddrw file and save as DXF.  It would be super-terrific if they could create their own DXF files.  Does a program exist that can open a .slddrw and save as DXF without SolidWorks?

The alternative would be one seat of SolidWorks that they could access in turn to create DXF files.  I'd prefer a separate program.

Fingers crossed... thanks!

Brian,

here is a thread that will give you some ideas thread559-104580 but I think it will be up to you to do the leg work to hunt down the macros/batchfiles

Check out the FREE DWG Gateway, it opens dwgs, but not definite about dxfs.

Now it also makes PDFs from dwgs.
