Hi Shaun
Thanks for reply.I know we can handle this issue in Autocad/Solidworks.I want to handle this issue before Save as DWG.How can we achieve this.
I have achieved 80% of Save as DWG.
The method that works well for us in our office is to Xref (external reference) the DWG created in SW into a Master drawing in AutoCAD. This way you can make all the changes to annotations and dimensions within Solidworks, and save out the DWG file without overwriting any work done in AutoCAD.
Hi
I found one observation through DWG conversion by changing Drafting standard.
1) I set the Drafting standard to ANSI.Then I converted the Drawing into DWG.The Dimension Text position is changing From Left to Right or Upwards to Downwards
2) I set the Drafting standard to ISO,Then I converted the Drawing into DWG.The Dimension Text position is not changing.
So is it DWG conversion is depend upon Drafting standard.

You cannot perform normal ddedit's to dimensions transfered from Solidworks to AutoCAD. Solidworks creates new dimension styles with exported dimensions. It is easier to either dimension completely in AutoCAD or edit the required dimension in Solidworks.
