Exporting to dwg layers

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I originally posted this on the general Inventor forum, but received no replies. I take it this cannot be done with out-of-the-box Inventor, so I am reposting it here.

When I export to dwg in Inventor, everything appears on layer 0. Is there a way to map sketches and features from Inventor to defined layers in dwg?

I am interested in either of these two options, or both:

- From ipt: sketches and features (surfaces, solids etc.) to defined dwg layers

- From iam: parts to defined layers

I am using Inventor 2013.

Thank you,

Samu

Hi Samu,

I think these settings are related to the layers/object defaults you can define in the Style Editor from your Inventor Drawing.

So in Inventor, open the drawing you want to export, open the Style and Standard Editor, define your desired Layers, Go to your active object defaults and define which type of object needs to be on what layer. Then when you export to DWG the layers are created equal to the way you defined it in the Style editor.

Good luck!
