saving from idw to dwg

Anonymous — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 13:59:43 GMT

I am having a weird occurance when saving from IDW to DWG. after doing a save as from inventor to a autocadd2000.dwg open file and extra views are appearing that seem to be copies of section views appear over my drawing at about 10x scale of drawing. This just started a couple days ago nothing new on system patches updates etc. anybody have this problem and know how to correct.

thanks

Except for some 'extras', I'm not seeing any issues in your DWG file

those extras just starting comming in in the last couple days do you know how to make them not come in. extra step deleting them prior to release to production. our turret gets confused with those in the drawings

Bad export process most likely, or they are an entity type the converter does not recognize.

Maybe someone in the INVENTOR forum can help you out while you wait here.

Have you found a fix for this? The same thing just started happening here, but not on everyone's computer. This happened on a co-workers machine and I then opened the same .idw on my machine and did a save copy as and the section view behaved normally.
