Flying components after exporting DWG

Hello all,

 

I wanted to know how to solve the issue related to DWG export. Before I export the file, the assembly is perfectly fine (position is also captured).

But when I export it and upload to DWG viewer, the the parts are all around the place. Do you have a solution to that?

can you share the design here?

 

Do you have any uncaptured position changes in your model (does this UI show up in the upper right)?

I already did capture position and also tried to ground the objects, but it still flies around in DWG viewer.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot share the model.

Naturally without model it's hard to diagnose, but how does it look like when exporting to STEP? If that export is OK maybe try to import it back and export to DWG from it.

I will try to follow your suggestion for the next time, thank you.

 

One of the ways I found it to fix the issue was really inefficient, but it worked:

I mirrored the whole machine 2x. So creating a mirror once, and then mirror it back using the mirrored components. The drawback is the time spent on renaming all of the mirrored parts (deleting the "mirror" in the name of the part).
