Can anyone help me to convert this Solidworks drawing into a .dxf or .dwg??
Hi AJ,
Welcome to the forum.
First you need to include the model for the drawing.
Next all you need to do is callup the drawing and do a save as
and change the file type to either dwg or dxf.
Thanks for the welcome and quick response!
-attached is the model-
Sorry, I should have been more clear, I am also not able to open this drawing with my version of solidworks.
Unfortunately I have solidworks 2005, and this drawing was created in a newer version, and I haven't found a way to open/convert the file yet.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
AJ
I am running 2011.
This is the best I could do. I tried pointing to the part file you gave me. but it seemed to
want an assembly. So the views came in with dashed lined boxes with "X" through them.
So I deleted them and replaced them with the part file. I believe the original ones had
dimensions associated with the views.
I just tried up loading them and the window errored on me and I already deleted the files.
I will try this again later.
Install edrawings 2011 and then you should be able to view them.
Thanks Scott, any help is appreciated! The dimensions are not critical, all I really need is the outine/profile of the drawing (it is of an electric motor). Thanks again for helping a SW rookie!
Deepak, thanks for the reply. I have viewd it with edrawings, but my ultimate goal is to be able to open it in 2D AutoCAD (dxf / dwg) or 3D AutoCAD (sat / step).

Kelvin, it worked! Thanks a million!!
AJ, I am so sorry.
What happened was I had the file converted into both .dwg and dxf and when I
tried uploading it to this thread the site errored on me. In the mean time while I was
uploading it I deleted all of the files off of my desktop and because it was the end of my work
day I did not have time to redo it.
I am glad that Kelvin was able to help you. I figured by the time I got back to this someone
probably would have.
