Help on Layers.... Please

I start doing some work for a company, but they using AutoCAD, and
after 15 years of suffering, I jump to heaven of Solidworks... (No
offense autoCAD users) and they got they own way to work in Autocad
Layers, I'm looking to create all drawings in specific layers.... How
can I do that? How can I change the drawings to layers i.e. Center
Line, Dimensions, Notes, Ballons .... Please help

 

Perform the following search in the SolidWorks help file, Drawings
Layers. This will give you all the needed information on how to use
layers in SolidWorks.

 

Have any of you tried this? I am currently trying to get this to work
"correctly" and having great difficulty w/ it. We use a white
background in SWs so we are using darker colored lines. When we export
to Acad we want to change the line colors so that they are lighter
colors, since we use a black background in Acad, and so do the
contractors we send the files to. I can get the mapping agent to use
export entities to the same layers/colors as they were in SWs, but can
not get them to change colors.

As for simplying using layers and exporting them to Acad, do as
mentioned above and read the help, but you will find it works almost
exactly like Acad layers do once you get everything in place.
