Exporting to DWG file

[rocky640]

I am trying to export a solidworks drawing to a DWG file that will open in autoCADD. This drawing has multi views and sheets. The steps I have been using is:

File
Save As
Save as type: Dwg
Then I set my options to the correct version of AutoCadd and set the scale.

This creates an AutoCadd file. When I open the new file all that shows up are center lines and dimensions. Can anyone help?

try using a Custom map file when exporting the SW file. All the infomation is most likely there but its probably black and you can't see it. If you use a Custom map file you can change the color and layers SW exports the entities out too ACAD.
