I have a part that i dropped into the solidworks drawing module with a few note arrows leading to some components. I needed to export this drawing to .DWG for a customer and he is running Autocad 2000.
So what i did was saveas -> (dialogue box) option -> select DWG ->
R2000 - 2002 - > truetype font style -> Autocad linestyles -> 1:1 ->
save
then i went into Autocad to purge any leftovers in the file, etc. etc. to keep the file small for zipping and emailing. Well, in the preview window i can see everything as it was in the solidworks drawing version, but when i opened up the .DWG file all that was in there was my notes and the arrows associated with those notes. The rest of the part was nowhere to be found.
I tried several variations of saveas -> options under solidworks to no avail. I also tried it under the .DXF and had the same result. So, my question is, am i missing something obvious...? did i bork something up...? a little help on what might be going on or even a hint or two would be greatly appreciated... thanks
