Saves as Adobe Illustrator
Saves as Adobe Illustrator
(OP)
When saving a drawing as a Illustrator file in SW 08 is it possible to remove the drawing sheet? Just save the model and dims with no background?
Our Graphic designer would like the background removed and just have the model and dimensions for catalog and brochure drawings.
Thanks

RE: Saves as Adobe Illustrator
Right click on the white space of the sheet in SolidWorks and go to Properties. (make sure you are not right-clicking on a drawing view)
In the Sheet Properties pop-up dialog you will want to uncheck "Display sheet format". This will remove everything you placed on the sheet format. You will additionally need to to remove BOM's, Rev tables, notes etc. if those were used and do not want to be seen for the AI file.
Hope this helps.

I need to remove the "white paper" that SW displays from behind the model and dims. we have a blank template (no title block etc) for catalog drawings.
Is it possible to remove that "white drawing sheet" in the back ground or have it not come up?
putting it on a layer is a possibility. How do i go about doing that?
thanks

In Tools-Options-System Options-Colors
You could set the drawing color and drawing background color to the same and it will appear as though it is gone. Other than that I think you will have to rely on your graphic designer as CBL stated.....
