SolidWorks Assembly to AutoCAD ".DWG"

Anish Kodali Apr 23, 2013 5:34 AM

Hi every one

Can any one please tell me how to make a AutoCAD“.DWG” file from SolidWorks assembly file, which satisfys the below rules

1- All entities must be 3D faces. Solids are not allowed. Edges formed by faces should be hidden or shown to accurately depict the product.

2-Nested blocks, solids, polylines, regions, text, attributes, XREF data, ACIS entities, ellipses, circles, lines and arcs are not allowed.

Anish,

If you try Raju's method, you probably will want to set your ACIS output options to Version 7.0, as I believe that was the last common version between ACIS and AutoCAD.

I have had many more problems with exporting ACIS than I have with STEP or IGES. You might have to go with one of the latter. STEP is usually better than IGES, but the receiving system may force you to use whatever they are capable of receiving.
