Dimension styles / export as .DWG

Rick Denoon Oct 1, 2013 12:20 PM

I have a client that want me to supply all their drawings in .DWG format for them to open in AutoCad. Right now when I save the SW drawing as a DWG it creates a bunch of different dimension styles for the different dimensions on the drawing. For instance, it will create a custom dimension style for a linear dimension, a different style for a radial dimension, and another style for a dimension that has "TYPICAL" text attached to it.

Is there any way to force these to all be the same dimension style when I do the save as?

Thanks

I don't export to .DWG very often, but try this please. When you're in the "Save As" dialog box, after you select .dwg, but before clicking OK, click the Options button. Near the top right, choose "TrueType" for Fonts: and "SolidWorks Custom Styles" for "Line styles:".

  Glen, thanks for the reply, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
