I modified the code from the following link and made it work with the VBA editor within Inventor.

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/export-sketch-as-autocad-dwg-file-question/td-p/5483168

Create a sketch and run this macro from the sketch enviroment.

It created a dwg file named sketch.dwg on my desktop.

Option Explicit
Sub ExportDWG()

  Dim DWGAddIn As TranslatorAddIn
Dim Doc As Document
       Set DWGAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{C24E3AC2-122E-11D5-8E91-0010B541CD80}")

       Set Doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

       Dim transObjs As TransientObjects

       Set transObjs = ThisApplication.TransientObjects

       Dim context As TranslationContext

       Set context = transObjs.CreateTranslationContext

       context.Type = kFileBrowseIOMechanism

       Dim options As NameValueMap

       Set options = transObjs.CreateNameValueMap

       If DWGAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(Doc, context, options) Then
          options.Value("Sketch") = True

          options.Value("DwgVersion") = 25
       End If

       Dim oDataMedium As DataMedium

       Set oDataMedium = transObjs.CreateDataMedium

       oDataMedium.FileName = "sketch.dwg"

       Call DWGAddIn.SaveCopyAs(Doc, context, options, oDataMedium)
    
End Sub

Thank you Jones,

It is working fine. I have one more question. If you can, guide me.

I want to Use this macro after finishing the sketch. You told to use in sketch environment. Instead, Is it possible way to use this macro from I-logic rules or form like that (automatically triggering from some click on buttons) ?

Thanks in advance
