Macro for exporting to DWG

[jrings]

I am new to sheetmetal in S/W 2006. We have a high def. Plasma cutter and use Sigmanest to put our parts into the plasma computer. In order for us to do this I have to convert my S/W drawing flatlayout to a .dwg. I have been doing this manually or with S/W task-scheduler. Has anyone made a macro to do this and automatically save a copy of the drawing (with the same drawing name) to the same location as the s/w file? I would love to use this?!!

You should be able to transfer SW files directly. No need for ".dwg" conversion.

Thanks, but SIgmanest wants to charge an additional $2950.00 to be able to directly import s/w files. I am trying to get around the 3k they want. I think that is a bit steep!!

You can probably create your own macro.
