RE: line types and colours from SW to ACAD
pls read CorBlimeyLimey FAQ for linetypes and its scale details and for colors u have to create layers in solidworks based on colors. then save as dwg/dxf and open this into autocad. i think it will clear ur problem....

RE: line types and colours from SW to ACAD
I have never needed to try, but can you not succesfully "map" the linetypes when saving as dxf/dwg? Type "map" in the index section of the help file.
BTW: Why would you want to go backwards to Autocad anyway? Why can't you use SW drawings? Why are you worried about colours? Before computers people used pencils or black ink ... no-one drew in coloured pencils then ... so why now?

I need to convert to autocad, because the customer still uses it.

Send your customer a free copy of eDrawings. It works for SW & AutoCad. It might just be whats needed to show hm the error of his ways
