Maintain line weight properties when exported to ACAD

Jan Ysrael Godinez Jan 16, 2008 12:49 AM

is there a better way of exporting slddrw to dwg which keeps the line weight properties?

its really hard to look at the drawing in ACAD when its all white.

TIA.

When exporting as a DWG/DXF, select the Options button in the lower right and set up your export options. In that screen you can set up a file that will map the entities in SoldWorks to the appropriate entity in AutoCAD.

I suspect there is something in the SW Help that talks about this.

Cheers,

  Also search the forums for AutoCAD layer mapping.
