Hi all
Is there a way that I can make an AUTOCAD file from a solid? I'm using
SW2007 and AC2000.
Thank you

I'll guess what you maybe asking,... you are trying to get a solid
into AC2000?....
I don't recall what ACIS (*.sat) version AC2000 was using but I also
guess that it was either acis version 2.0 or 3.0?
Anyhow, you'll need to saveas (export) the solidworks part as a ACIS
(*.sat) version 2.0 or 3.0.
Now, in AC2000, (again, not positive but..) use the command, "acisin"
to import the *.sat file.

that is how I move files from SW to AutoCAD 2005 I have no idea if that will
work with 2000. Solids that you can not draw in the autocad will still be
correct after importation.

Sorry for not being specific...
I meant to ask how can I extract a 2D geometry from a solid drawn in
SW and then export it in Autocad, in order to get a dwg. drawing.
Tank you for your replays.

You extract the 2d geometry in AutoCad with the _solview and _soldraw
commands. AutoCAD will do it for you if your version of AutoCAD is not too
old.

A dwg drawing is not necessarily 2D it can also be a solid.

Jean Marc already told you:

Make a drawing (open formatted or plane sheet).
Input model views (scale or note default scale).

Do a file save as and choose .DWG from the drop down menu.

That's it, now open the file in AutoCAD and scale it if necessary.

Now... that is amazing.. I mean,... really... can we all have a moment
of silence.... I rest my case.
