How do I import a solidworks model into autocad?
(OP)
Hello,
I am running Solidworks 2001, and would like to learn how to export a Solidworks model into AutoCAD, in order to print a hidden line image in both Axonometric and Perspective views.
Additionally, if anybody should recommend how I might plot a hidden line image directly from Solidworks without a jagged line effect, that information would also be valued.
Thanks!
Argyle.

You need to create all your views in Solidworks drawing, because the AutoCAD file does not update with Solidworks model.
Good luck.

This way you can export solids from AutoCAD to SW (use export under File menu, then select ACIS format or .sat file. In SW open the file and SW will do the conversion. They will come up as dumb solids but sometime it's easier to convert an existing solid than remodel it.
