    hi all,

    I want to use a SW drawing in some promo literature and want to sever all
    links to the model so I can make changes to in SW before exporting to
    Photoshop, but I can't find a way to sever the link to the model? Any ideas
    much appreciated. TIA.

    Best,

    JAG

  2. Try
    SaveAs>Detached Drawing.
    This will cause the drawing to load without the model you can then decide
    wether or not to load the model, as I understand it.

    Export out to a DWG or DWF

  4. Hi Jag,

    Possibly you might need a detached (also called rapiddraft) version of
    the drawing.

    Or, if you need "line art" version of the drawing, save it to .dwg and
    reopen it in SW. It will come in as line art and will not respond to
    the model anymore. This is a one way process for the drawing, but
    might be what you are after. It almost goes without saying, but
    saving it to a new name would be an extra step of protection so that
    the "original" is not overwritten when reading the drawing back in.

    Regards,
