Exporting DRW to DWG

[wattyinabq]

Pro Gurus,

I need to export a multi-sheet Pro/E drawing, DRW, to AutoCAD, DWG. I've not done this before and need some guidance. There's paper space and model space options. Both produce an off white sheet with yellow text, dims and balloons. That is very difficult to read. I also tried exporting to DXF and got the same result.

WF 4 M180
Win 7 64 bit

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You need to copy the attached file into your current working directory. This is just a text file and can easily be modified. It will create all black lines on a white background upon import into ACAD.

If the attached file doesn't come through, here's the text version. Just name the file "dxf_export.pro" and you'll be good to go.
