idw to dwg code

Hello?
My name is SW Park.
I have a question about the Inventor idw to dwg code.
I am trying to change the idw file to dwg.
Each dwg is changed to a compressed file including fonts, but I want to change it to a dwg file only.
Can you tell me how to fix the code?
And I want to know the explanation of the code, where can I find the relevant manual?

 

[EXPORT SELECT OPTIONS]
AUTOCAD VERSION=AutoCAD 2007

USE CUSTOMIZE=No
CUSTOMIZE FILE=Design Data\DWG-DXF\FlatPattern.xml

Hi, I think we need to clarify your question first:


By "idw to dwg code", you mean the export template to AutoCAD DWG format, right? I am not sure what you mean by "compressed file". Are you saying that after the export you compress them, or do you wish to compress during the export procedure from Inventor? You say you wanted to change it (the export, I presume) to a DWG file only... what do you mean by that? The export from Inventor IDW to AutoCAD DWG already creates a pure DWG file.

 

Reading this again I think you meant that the export procedure compresses/discards unnecessary fonts and other blocks, but you wish to ONLY CHANGE it to DWG, leaving everything that is possible (blocks, etc.) in the drawing resources.

 

Here is a guide of how entities are translated between Inventor to AutoCAD:

Some help for keeping layers for AutoCAD Mechanical:

The default DWG export configuration should be found as exportdwg.ini, under:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 20xx\Design Data\DWG-DXF

There is no actual guide for this, but through changing the settings of an export you can see the differences in the INI file for your configuration:
