Additional Options for DXF

The additional options for the DXF documents provides some advanced options for the file conversion rules which output file type is DXF.


General options:

Fonts Determines the font family used in the output documents.
Generate file from assembly according to the sheet metal part thickness Select this option to generate the DXF documents from the sheet metal parts based on their thickness. Output documents of a file conversion are then created by the sheet metal part thicknesses so that each different thickness of sheet metal have one dxf file where all parts with the corresponding thickness are included in.

NOTE: Selecting this option makes the DXF rule to apply to the parts instead of the drawings. The drawings could not be selected when this option is selected. So if you want to convert drawing documents into the DXF format, do not select this option.

DXF documents creation from the models cannot be automatic so, the Run automatically on Save operation option in the Add/Edit Batch File Conversion Rule dialog box cannot be selected if this option is selected.

Additional options:

Leave created drawing opened Select this option to leave the output document open in the SOLIDWORKS after the file conversion.
Display CustomNote Template to every view Select this to add a custom notes on the top of the drawing views generated by the file conversion output file. The note templates are retrieved from the notes created with the Notes feature.
