SolidWorks: DWG Problem and Part Family

Hello

 

When you save a plan in DWG and it contains a table from a room family, it is usually offset and the property names do not appear in the column headers (see attached image).

 

Are you experiencing the same problem?

Do you have a solution?

Hello

Have you tried changing the font?

I ran into a similar problem with PDF conversion:

Hello

 

In the generated file, did you try to "play" with the layers?

It seems that the properties layer is not the right one.

as @ Tomalam says

 

This issue was resolved by changing the font on another thread 

 

What do you read your DWG with?

Scaling is also important

Hello

 

You must have a difference in configuration with your 5th column because it displays its text well.

 

To watch.

Yes, the 5th column must be a hand-filled box, while the others are driven with a property.

On the other hand, it makes me think... Maybe when converting to DWG it is set to display the formulas in the box instead of the formula result.

I don't know if it's very clear, on Creo there is a way to switch in this way.

Hello

 

In fact, the tables from the part families are of the old format (OLE object, Excel table)

they are not converted to a Table Annotation object like (almost) all other tables

And obviously the vectorization of these objects whether in PDF or DXF, DWG .... doesn't go well

I don't see any simple and practical solutions...  

To get something clean you have to copy/paste the content into an Annotation table (Insert/Tables/General Table) but you lose the associativity

Hi all

 

I'm initially in SolidWorks: I open after the DWG with DraftSight (but it's the same with AutoCAD) => the problem is in SolidWorks!

 

On attached files, the conversion to DWG works for both of them! And it still works when you convert it to PDF!

Are you repeating the same problem?

 

Have you noticed a difference between these 2 files?

 

@Tomalam : they have the same police! And the other thread is about CREO.

@Jose-accessa : I do absolutely nothing on DWG files: I'm in SolidWorks and I do File > Register-under > DWG

@GT22: The other thread is about CREO. And your link talks about AutoCAD, when in fact it's about SolidWorks.

@jfaradon : indeed I want to keep the associativity!

 

Thank you all.

I heard the latest version of DraftSight.

Has anyone tried to open the files to save them in DWG?

And have you seen a difference between these two files? Because one works and the other doesn't!

 

Hello

Has anyone been able to look at my files?

I received an email from Lynkoa asking me to close this question, but it seems that no one has subscribed to it, and that I am talking alone!

This is a known problem, see this SPR:
