    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.

    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.

    Jean Marc already told you:

    [

    ]-JM-


    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.
