Thank you I have managed to get solidworks to force a layer in autocad, and also to change the colour as requested, However I can't seem to find anywhere where solidworks directs the hidden lines onto a specific layer, assume this would then force the lines onto a layer in autocad.
Nearly there...
I use Solidworks and translate into DWG for Autocad, Does anyone know of a way to force the hidden lines on Solidworks to be put on a different layer, so when imported as a dwg into Autocad, they also use a seperate layer.
This would be a god send.
Slight improvement with the performance by using the SP3.1 pack.
Not solved the problem though. still slower than 2001+.
Thanks for surgestion to switch off external references, but we need those to keep all the parts in sync.
Still try to solve it.

I have had a reply from Our SW support. I am told SW2003 addresses features in a totally different way than 2001+.
There are obvious benefits from this, like being able to have disjointed bodies in one part.
I am also informed the way that SW2003 looks back up the feature tree and assesses...
I have a problem with SW assemblies which I ca't seems to shake.
My system is up to spec, so I know its not that and this problem was seen on the upgrade to 2003.
I use small assemblies but they are all parts which are generate from the first one in the tree. Making moulds using mainly the...
I have a similar problem. I use a lot of parts in assemblies which a created from each other, Mainly using the Cavity tool for mould tools. However at a certain level SW wants to rebuild every single feature in every single part including parts that are not affected by a change or an addition...
