Hidden lines in AutoCAD

Hidden lines in AutoCAD

Hidden lines in AutoCAD

(OP)
Hi all,

 When I convert SW drawing to AutoCAD (Save AS Dwg file) sometimes hidden lines in AutoCAD become visible (full line instead of dotted lines).
Any suggestion.

RE: Hidden lines in AutoCAD

I experience the same problem with every file that I save as a .dwg. My "fix" is to open the drawing in AutoCad and change properties of the line (in my case I only have 1 line that I need to adjust so its not a big deal).

I also change the text styles to ROMANS. I have to run this command 2 times as the first time the command changes some SolidWorks text style to a True Type font that is noticeably darker than the other text.
