Save parts in DWG

3D Design
1

Hello everyone ,

 

I often work on parameterized sheet metal assemblies, my assembly consists of about 10 different parts

Each piece I have to save in DWG, here's how I do it:

In my assembly I right click on the part, I edit my part that I want to output in DWG and I save it UNDER .... DWG 

Isn't there another method like pack and go or other to automatically save all the parts in DWG?

 

Thank you for your answers

Hello

You can use myCADtools and the BatchConverter or SheetMetalManufacturing tools that allow you to automate its tasks  from the active assembly and name your DXFs based on the properties of your documents.

If you do not have the myCADservices Premium subscription, you can test myCADtools for 30 days:

Hello

If you don't have myCADTools, a macro could do the job.
The save as function in SolidWorks provides various options for exporting to DWG.
What exactly do you expect for each room: the default view when it is opened, a particular view, or several, from the 3D model or from a drawing...?

Kind regards

Look at this macro:

https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/document/sheet-metal/export-all-flat-patterns/

It has to do the job requested, i.e. since an assembly exports all the sheet metal works in dwg.

I haven't tested it since I use Mycadtools for this need via Integration, but if the site is in English, the macros available on this site are really very functional.

In addition, you will find a lot of other very interesting macros, or even something to train you in vba like I did.
