Hello
I'm looking for a way to put text in a drawing.
I would like to be able to do a maruage on a sheet metal piece that is laser cut.
To do this, I have to put a text in yellow with a special slap for Extre in yellow in the DXF output.
I know how to create a block in a sketch of a piece and then I will save that block.
it can then be retrieved in the drawing. but the text no longer appears then...
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you
by creating a mini extrusion maybe
@+
If this part is intended for laser cutting + marking.
Why use a drawing?
A simple dxf extract wouldn't be enough? In this case, you just have to glue your block on your part and put the sketch in yellow before exporting. No?
Hello
To complete the answer of @Bart, in addition to the time of export in DXF it is very simple to be able to specify the export layers by reducing to the colors in SolidWorks.

By the way, Coyote, I don't know how to export the slaps at the same time.
I modify by draftsight between 2. Do you have a tip?
For my part, the marking is directly put on the 3D part.
I created a Library function for this (with the font that goes well).
Hello
You just have to have your annotation on a "yellow" layer. Then to retrieve the colors, line styles etc in your dxf or dwg it's simple:
- When you save as DXF (same for DWG) click on opiton at the bottom of the window
- In the export options, you need to "Enable" SOLIDWORKS Custom Projections to DXF/DWG
- When you click on save, a window^tre will open where you will be able to configure your layer transfers (in this window, you can use the "help" button)
I hope this will be useful to you...
Good evening
I've tried several ways to make a projection but I don't understand how it works...
what I have for now is a sketch in the 3D room with "panel" text
This text appears in the drawing and I would like this text to be in yellow color in the output DXF.
Is = it possible in this way?
I have a layer that I put to the text in the drawing but I feel like this layer goes to the whole drawing.
In the window that opens for the projection from SolidWorks to DXF, I can't find the layers I created...
Can you help me more about this.
thank you in advance
