Solidworks files to dwg and/or dxf format (3D)
Hello All!!!
My today's issue, is that I can not find a way to convert a part or an assembly, from Solidworks format (.sldprt, .sldasm) to a 3D model of .dwg or .dxf!! the only thing that i can export, is a 2-dimensional dwg and dxf, from faces/loops, or its annotation views, at a 2d format. I want them 3D format!!! I need to import some Solidworks files to Google Sketchup, so i could be able to make a short technical illustration for the part of mine. how can that happen?
So, i need two things:
- if there's any way to export a SW file to a 3D .dwg and/or .dxf format and
- if there's any other way except 3DVia Composer (it's too expensive to buy -for now-) to make a technical illustration.
Thanks a lot guys, in advance!! It would be great to enlighten me with your answers!
Thank youuuuuu!!!!!!!

We use power point to illustrate design and intent (much cheaper than 3dvia). Utilize the screen capture tool to take a snapshot of your current view. Paste the image into power point and adjust size. To correct for resolution use your feature tree bar, if you drag to the left your size resolution will change to match. Keep adjusting on the first page, once you get the size that you want you just move the part or parts and take a new image each change. Each image has its own slide, so when you scroll through the images the pieces move. See the power point that I have attached and contact me if you have questions.
