Siemens NX9.0>>Translators>>Dxfdwg

Siemens NX9.0>>Translators>>Dxfdwg

(OP)
Hello mates,
I have around 150 NX 2D drafting files which need to be translated into *.dxf format. I used "Dxfdwg" option available in translator. But while opening that dxf file using AutoCAD 2015, drawing is not available under "Model" tab. it appears under "Layout" tab in AutoCAD. But if I export individual file using File>>Export>>AutoCAD DXF/DWG, then it converts the file correctly.

Please suggest which settings I need to change.

maybe try translating to a .dwg instead of a .dxf and see how that works.
It seemed to work better for me,
You will also should get better results when you utilize 2D Exchange

Yeah tried that way too. It creates two files as "filename_MODEL.dwg" (which contains a 3D model of the file) and "filename.dwg" (which contains 2D drawing under Layout tab).

And in NX 9.0 dxf/dwg convertion is moved from 2D Exchange to AutoCAD DXF/DWG option.

Any suggestions on this fellow NX users?

I've got one additional problem like whenever I translate a drafting file (Using File>>Export>>AutoCAD DXF/DWG) with two or more drawing sheets it export the first sheet every time even though the active sheet may be second or third one.

Your support is highly appreciated.
