Benefits and Description
AutoCAD 2004, 2005, and 2006 are now supported. In Pro/ENGINEER you can:
- Export Pro/ENGINEER hatching as AutoCAD hatching.
- Export Pro/ENGINEER tolerance symbols to DWG and DXF formats.
- Export items on blanked layers to DWG or DXF (also STEP) blanked layers.
- Export one, several, or all drawing sheets to DWG or DXF (also IGES) in one operation.
- Export Pro/ENGINEER assembly hierarchy as nested AutoCAD blocks.
Additionally, you can:
- Translate AutoCAD tables into tables in Detailed Drawings and vice versa.
- Import AutoCAD OLE image objects into Pro/ENGINEER drawings.
These DXF and DWG enhancements transfer more content to AutoCAD and ease the post-translation manipulation of drawings in AutoCAD. The import of AutoCAD drawings into Pro/ENGINEER now captures intelligent entities to make it easier to manipulate and maintain the drawings.
