Gary,
Absolutely!!!
If you go to your file save as option and select the file type options you will see either DXF or DWG as an option.
Also tell your boss that SW has a lot more to offer then just these options.
Gary,
It only exports 2D drawings in .dxf or .dwg format. It exports 3D models in Parasolid, STEP, IGES and ACIS formats.

Jerry,
I don't recall in which release it became available, but you can now save the flat-pattern of sheet metal parts as a DXF or DWG file without putting it into a drawing first. Just "Save as. . ." a sheet metal part and select DXF or DWG as file type. You don't even need to make a flat-pattern configuration first. A very nice feature, now that I'm not doing sheet metal all the time.
Yes you can save your files as DXF or DWG.
