"It seems that if I have a part open for a while" does this mean that you left the computer for a while also? Did the screensaver turn on?
Many computers have powersaving activated on the network card by default. not caring to much what programs feels about loosing connection with the server...
We started out by taking code from the internet and today we use this code that I made better and better.
We reuse the same button for different purpouse if it is a drawing or a Part file and SaveDwgPDF is the one i call most from my button menu.

The SW tool that handles 3D scanned piont clouds is called ScanTo3D i think, this is part of the premium package but not the standard.
When importing data using this tool you can reduce the points to sorfaces that makes up an average of all the points and so on.
If you can, try to get the point...
I have SW 2012 and this means you can´t load my file after modifications but here are the results from adding a few fillets.
The important thig is to not try and add all fillets at the same time. use multiple features. and try to turn off "tangent propagation" to see if you get better results in...
We investigated this at my company about a year ago. We handle parts from catia all the time as we make fixtures for SCANIA and they draw all things for trucks in catia. It was then said that Dassaut was working on a secret plugin for SW that was only going to be offered to customers in real...
But if many of these fasteners are from the same part file, then you would not load this file more then once even if you use 100 of them. and that in my mind would compensate that the file is bigger.
If you are working with large assemblys or conversion of step models into solidworks i recomend minimum 8Gb of ram and a 64bit system.
Since Solidworks sucks at writing multithreaded software i would say that dual core with higher frequency gives you more speed then quadcore with low freq will...
The solution to your workaround is probably to uncheck Merge solids when you extrude your "weld". that way you can still flatten the sheetmetal body.When you place the part on the drawing, use "select bodys" to only have the sheetmetal body vissible, after this you will get the flat pattern view...

I don´t use it myself but i know there is a way to export a flat patterned sheetmetal part to dxf/dwg straight from the part.
maybe this is what you actually want to do? not an overall solution though
This is a rough and not to accurate vector version done with Solidworks autotrace + paint.net.
It produces splines and i dont know how well this works in autocad.
For better results i usually trace the contoures by hand.
I have no ideas why the block came out 13degrees rotated from what i had in...
If you can, make your logo from vector graphics instead. for filled areas use solid filled hatch. then your logo will look the same in dwg and still stay small and fast to render/save.
If you have select hidden lines and dont want it you can hold down ctrl or shift dont remember exactly and you will not grab hidden lines.
Another way is to activate selection filter toolbar and say that you only want to grab surfaces.
