Macro for exporting to DWG

Macro for exporting to DWG

Macro for exporting to DWG

(OP)
I am new to sheetmetal in S/W 2006.  We have a high def. Plasma cutter and use Sigmanest to put our parts into the plasma computer.  In order for us to do this I have to convert my S/W drawing flatlayout to a .dwg.  I have been doing this manually or with S/W task-scheduler.  Has anyone made a macro to do this and automatically save a copy of the drawing (with the same drawing name) to the same location as the s/w file?  I would love to use this?!!

Thanks, but SIgmanest wants to charge an additional $2950.00 to be able to directly import s/w files.  I am trying to get around the 3k they want.  I think that is a bit steep!!

RE: Macro for exporting to DWG

You can probably create your own macro.
