Best way to convert Solidworks 2D to CADKEY 19

Hey guys,

What have you found to be the best AUTOCAD export for Solidworks 2D to bring files into CADKEY 19?

Thanks,

Luca

RE: Best way to convert Solidworks 2D to CADKEY 19

ugh i hope whoever has Cadkey will start looking to migrate to something else with its demise. IMSI has a history of screwing up aquisitions and are very lean on R&D budgets. To answer your question when we used to have machine shops use Cadkey I think we would export ACADR13

Definately agree with you on the way IMSI handles things. As much as our CAD department wants to get out of CADKEY, (since its hard to keep the software supported, hard to find training, and all of their financial issues) we simply can't since our manufacturing is all done over in Taiwan and CADKEY is just what they use there, and they wont budge onto another type of software since "the old way is the best way". Infact we have mold shops in the far east still using CADKEY 5.
