DXF Drawing Export: Recording Area

Hi all

 

Since then, we have had a problem with saving drawings in DXF or DWG format. Indeed, we sometimes put out-of-area views of the sheet, but when we save it in DXF/DWG format, solidworks integrates the out-of-area views of the sheet.

 

I looked for an option in the solidworks save settings but found nothing. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

(I attach a screenshot of the result)

in a mse in pdf plan it includes all the parts inserted in a SW drawing

I think it makes sense

it's up to you not to put what doesn't suit your drawing in the frame

Hello

For me there are 2 solutions

1-put the views on another sheet

2-Put the views in hidden state => in the feature manager right click then hidden.

May the force be with you

My views are not in my sheet format but outside. I use it to have links such as part number or external side etc.

 

I attach an image with my solidworks drawing.

Export

The DXF/DWG converter only exports drawing documents as .dxf or .dwg files . When you export a drawing as a .dxf or .dwg file , the scale of the drawing sheet is used for the new file. All entities (edges, annotations, and assembly components) on layers are exported to the designated layer.

SolidWorks hatch patterns are converted to AutoCAD hatch patterns when you export SolidWorks documents as DXF or DWG files. The SolidWorks software converts the SolidWorks hatch patterns to non-associative hatch definitions and preserves the layer and color of the original hatching. The SolidWorks application also supports exporting hatches when you project layers using a projection file.

When you export SolidWorks drawing documents as DXF or DWG files, you can choose to project only those elements whose layers are not otherwise defined. All entity types that can be assigned to AutoCAD layers through the projection file support layers in the SolidWorks drawing format.

The DXF/DWG converter supports line thickness, hidden sketches, and automatic construction lines. You can export custom line styles. However, when importing, custom line styles are not recognized in AutoCAD files.

You can export colors to DXF/DWG files by layer or block. 24-bit colors are used in both import and export.

Unfolded Sheet Metal Parts. You can create unfolded sheet metal parts .dxf files directly from sheet metal part documents without unfolding the model. The words "Unfolded state" are added before the file name.

  •  Click File > Save As and select DXF (*.dxf) as the Type.
  • Right-click Unfolded State in the FeatureManager Design Tree and select Export Unfolded State to DXF/DWG.

You can also export sheet metal entities.

Yes I do the same thing, so make your plan as if you were done and then once finished drag the exterior views on another sheet (sheet 2 )

to Ac Cobra in my opinion no it never worked as described or requested

You have to remove all the extra coins  before the DXF DWG

Do as the online help work your plan

via layers and select the one that corresponds to the correct drawing for conversion

or as said @ OBI WAN drag the unwanted views to another sheet
