I have windows 10 64 bit on which I am trying to convert .drw to .dwg in pro engineer 4.0. The file instead of converting in .dwg converts to zip archive which has the dwg files in it.

every time for opening the .dwg  file in autocad I have to extract the zip and then use .dwg in it.

Please help me....

I don't have access to WF 4 anymore, but check your config.pro options. I remember their being some setting to automatically zip files. See if you have that set.

check for the config.pro option   preferred_save_as_type

if it is set, remove it.  (edit config.pro with notepad or wordpad)

The default locations for your config.pro is:

c:<load dir>/text

your start in directory (the one that is in your start icon)

If you have a different start up method, you need to check for other options where your config.pro may be placed

EDIT:

you may just want to output the file as a .dwg or .dxf from WF4
