Hi again,
OK I have a Solidworks drawing with a Dim layer (Green-96) and another layer Border text (Blue-135), both are notes
I am converting to a DWG, Dim layer (Yellow-2), and Border Text (Blue-4) but every-time I get both layers on DIM layer Yellow-2
How do I get the mapping file to only change the Dim layer to Dim Yellow, I've tried setting only notes that are yellow, which didn't work
Also tried green-96 but that just changed them to dim layer and green after converting
any help would be greatly appreciated as I have yet find a good way to learn this other than a lot of trial and error
Regards,
Hello,
If I'm understanding your post correctly, as shown in your mapping dialog, you map layers to entity types.
You don't map SW layer to DWG layer.
So, once you've mapped one entity type to a layer, you can't map the same type to another layer.
You're trying to tell SW to map some notes here and some notes there. There's no provision for SW to distinguish within an entity type.
SW just complains:
This is why all dims end up on one layer.
Cheers,
Kevin
