SolidWorks dxf scale issue on publish

Hello all,

We're running 10.2 M030 and have customization to create .pdf and .dxf as Attachments to the drawing EPMDocument on publish.

The created attachment .dxf scaling is according to the sheet sizing when it should be 1:1. On the visualization server the SW Export setting was initially wrong, but enabling Scale output 1:1 did not help, ie. we tested that if just setting this correct with the user running the worker would fix the issue. A .slddrw was opened on the server, exported as .dxf with scaling 1:1 enabled and resulting .dxf was ok when opened. Assumption was that once Enable is selected it is then the default for the user running SW.

So the question is which setting does the worker look for when creating .dxf?

It's a bug. To be fixed in Creo 4.1.

Applies to SolidWorks dxf when published as additional file, but if SW dxf is set as the default scaling is correct.
