Embodiment 1

[0043] The present invention adopts software such as SolidWorks 2014, AutoCAD 2016, Visual Basic6.0, Photoshop CS6.

[0044] 1. Software Development

[0045] 1.1 Set up custom mapping from SolidWorks to DWG

[0046] SolidWorks creates a custom mapping file, which is used to export SolidWorks engineering drawing files to DWG files, so that different content components appear on corresponding layers, and filters are used to filter different layers, lines, and content.

[0047] The setup process is as follows:

[0048] 1) Create a new mapping file

[0049] First, right-click on any path - New - Text Document, and name the file drawfontmap.txt;

[0050] 2) Set up the mapping file

[0051]Open SolidWorks, click File-Open, and select any SLDDRW drawing file to open. Then click File - Save As to display the "Save As" dialog box. Select Dwg (*.dwg) in the save as type option, and then click the "Options" button below to open the "Export Options" dialog box. Select "R2000-2002" ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for converting SolidWorks graphs into AutoCAD graphs in batches. The method comprises the following steps: S100, setting self-defined mapping from SolidWorks to DWG; s200, converting the SolidWorks into a DWG format, opening the SLDDRW engineering drawing files one by one, and sequentially storing the SLDDRW engineering drawing files as DWG files; and S300, modifying the DWG files in AutoCAD, modification information comprising layers, fonts and line types, and exiting until modification of all the converted DWG files is finished. According to the invention, secondary development of SolidWorks and AutoCAD is carried out by utilizing a Visual Basic language, conversion from a SolidWorks engineering drawing to a DWG format file is optimized, the workload of modification after conversion is reduced, tedious manual operation is reduced, and the working efficiency is optimized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for converting SolidWorks engineering drawings into AutoCAD format in batches. Background technique [0002] At present, most enterprises often use SolidWorks for product 3D design and virtual assembly, and then generate SLDDRW engineering drawing files, and then export them to DWG format files, and the subsequent drawing processing is completed on AutoCAD. [0003] However, the current SolidWorks software cannot realize the batch conversion of engineering drawings to DWG files, which brings some troubles to designers. In addition, the bigger problem is that in the process of converting SolidWorks engineering drawings into DWG files, due to font mismatch and other reasons, problems such as garbled text display, inconsistent layers, and confusing line types often occur. This greatly reduces the effect of conversion, and also seriously increases the workload in the later stage, which brings troubles to users. [0004] ...
