Export to DWG result in polylines instead of ellipses.

In my experience that's normal SW behavior. The SaveAs function does not seem to recognize anything but lines and arcs . . . anything other than those are converted to polylines.

Are splines exported as polylines, too? Is there an acad version variable that can be set? There wasn't any other way to represent a spline prior to acad r14 or so.

If you export a polyline acad gets an ellipse?

In the Solidworks drawing view, right click on sketch that was used to create ellipse, select "show".

Upon exporting you will get 2 objects directly on top of one another. one pline and one ellipse.

No, an ellipse in ACAD is imported as a polyline into SW.

All kidding aside, if, in SW you select the polylines only, you can convert them into a spline and delete the polylines in one operation.

Thanks, it is a model with cuts in a cylinders, I need the 2D ellipse in AutoCAD and sort I could export the drawing.
