I will plan to a request to metal work.

And they ask you to send it as a *. dwg with the scale of sketch.

But the scale of the sketch is not included when I tried.

 

How can I handle it? Please let me know.

Hi,

1. save sketch (1:1) as DXF 

2. open in Autocad, QCAD ... save as DWG

3. use online converter DXF/DWG

Hi,

1. I assume that Metal Worker needs 1:1 data.
2. 1:1 data can be found in sketches of the design mode.
3. right click on the sketch > save as DXF
4. open in ACAD, QCAD and save as DWG
or
5. convert DXF to DWG via an online converter.
6. result: 1:1 data in DWG format

Hi @pixelfriend 

 

If you are looking to export a 2D drawing to DWG with scale, this is the workflow:

By double-clicking on the view, I was able to see that the current scale is 1:4. I then exported the drawing to a Simplified DWG format.

 

Hope this helps.
