Multiple sheet drawings save as dwg?

[tap90291]

We have numerous booklets of details which may contain anywhere from 2 or three up to 50-75 sheets (one per detail). I cannot seem to save the entire file as a dwg, only one sheet at a time. Is there something I can do to save the entire file with all sheets as a dwg in one step.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so, if someone has a suggestion I would like to hear it myself. But as I undestand it and as far as I can tell there is no way to import more then one sheet in at a time into SW.

Scott I am trying to save a solidworks file as an acad format with all sheets.

The only method I know of will not save all the sheets into one dwg, but it will save it into multiple files all in one step.

Do a google search for PAC4SWX. This is a software package that will do the above mentioned task. It has a 30 day trial.

You can easily export all sheets to dwg in one step. The API help contains an example "Save Drawing Sheets as DXF" You can modify this (change the dxf references to dwg) to get the sheets exported to dwg. If you want to combine all of the exported dwg files into one file you can add onto the save as dxf code to accomplish it. I don't know of any other way to bring all of these dwg's together into one file.

I also tried this and never got it to work. There was an earlier thread. There is supposed to by some kind of Office add-on that allows it, as I recall.

If you have Sw Explorer, it will do what you want.
