DWG File Export Options dialog box

Defines options for saving an Autodesk Inventor AutoCAD drawing or sheet metal flat pattern to an AutoCAD or AutoCAD Mechanical file.

Note on saving drawing files as Autodesk Inventor Drawings (.dwg)

Autodesk Inventor files saved in Autodesk Inventor Drawing (*.dwg) format can be opened directly in AutoCAD where you can view, plot, and measure the Autodesk Inventor data. Autodesk Inventor drawing views remain linked to the parts and assemblies from which the views are created. However, this drawing data is not fully editable in AutoCAD. If you require a drawing that is 100% editable in AutoCAD, then export the file.

This dialog box starts the Save as DWG File Options wizard.

Access:

Click Save or Save AsSave Copy As, and select a .dwg or .dxf file, and select AutoCAD Drawing (*.dwg) as the file type. Click Options.

Note: To save a sheet metal flat pattern, right-click the flat pattern, and then select Save Copy As.
