Hi there,

 

Is it possible to export a .dwg file and remove a certain line style/layer from that dwg?

Hi

 

The only method I know of is to freeze any layers you wish to hide.

So whatever lines/layers that are in use in Inventor will be frozen in AutoCAD.

 

Method:

Save as your IDW template to the Standard.dwg template - Overwrite the existing file. (backup your old dwg template)

Edit the standard.dwg file in AutoCAD and freeze the chosen layers.

Save once again as standard.dwg.

 

Make sure you use the Standard.dwg template when you export any files from inventor.

EG from my Standard.dwg.

Hope it makes sense. That all the advice I can give until someone comes back with another solution to your problem.
