No export options?

Jarrod Stilp Feb 19, 2012 12:57 AM

HI,

I am trying to export my model to the dxf file format. I have searched help only to confirm that i need to click file, save as, select the dxf file type from the drop down, then click options. I have done this before however the problem now is that when i click the drop down in the save as dialog, there are no other options other than solidworks types (ie part, part templates etc).

I am confused as to what i am doing wrong and would greatly appreciate any help. Cheers,

Jarrod

Welcome to SolidWorks forums Jarrod.

Any chance if you using Student edition of the SolidWorks? If yes then you can't export to any other formats.

Jarrod,
Welcome to the forum.
Take a look at this thread. It is all dependent on which version of SW you have.
Deepak is right in that if you have the student edition, these export options are not there.

  Thank you both for your help. I am using the student edition so this was the reason. My school has the educational version however so i am able to export my files there
  
  Thank you again for your help.
