Saving SolidWorks Drawings into AutoCad format
Saving SolidWorks Drawings into AutoCad format
(OP)
Saving Drawings into Autocad format is working well, using the mapping functionality to place certain types of things onto layers. The tool allows you to choose dimensions onto it's own layer for example as you export, it recognizes the different features on a drawing well enough and the map file works to help. The only concern we have is that any blocks in SW that have attributes assigned to them don't take the colour property from the mapping file.
Not a big issue, it just would be damn cool and slick if the blocks with attributes were to take the colour from the map file created. (so it would be white on black rather than black on black.

RE: Saving SolidWorks Drawings into AutoCad format
Sorry, but I never understood the concept of saving SW drawings to Autocad. Why not use the SW drawings to keep the parametric capabilities?
Saving to ACAD is now duel effort to track drawings. I have done this at other companies, SW eventually won and ACAD being removed.

however, large multinational companies have policies of project as builts submitted in AutoCad.
We did some manual cleanup and the drawings will be submitted later this week.

Having learned Autocad in college, I remember Zoom all... That's about it. LOL
