Our configuration management tool requires a DWG for our system assembly drawings. A single DWG with all the sheets layed out in a sheet space. Right now I do a "Save As" out of inventor and it creates X number of seperate DWG files and then I stitch them together in AutoCAD by taking each sheet and placing them into a single sheet space (copy paste). Can Inventor do this for me? My work flow would be much faster if I could get Inventor to create a single sheet space with all the active or selected sheets as a single DWG output.
Thanks for your help.

If you save copy as Inventor.DWG all sheets are in one.
When I save as an inventor.DWG the drawing sheets are on seperate drawing tabs, but not in the same model space. Am I missing something?
I am having same issue - the only way to get multi-tabbed dwg stright from idw is via an Inventor dwg file - see:

I really wish they would change this so you can go straight from IDW to multi-tab plain Autocad dwg (no Inventor objects)
Same issue here - how do I convert my IDW's to an Autocad format that an outside vendor who does not have Inventor can use without having to "stitch" countless individual dwg files together.

Hi Nic,
Inventor doesn't support export multi sheets into one layout.
