I am trying to save a Pro/E drawing as an AutoCAD drawing. I have done this many times before with few problems. Recently, the file "Type" selection flyout on the "Save a copy..." dialog box no longer displays *.dwg as an option. The only file types available are *.drw, IGES*.igs, SET*.set, Cadra*.igs, STEP*.stp, MEDUSA*.she, and TIFF*.tif.

I did modify some settings in my Config.pro and Window Drawing.dtl files around the same time that this problem arose. I suspect that I changed something I shouldn't have, but I can't find the culprit.

Does anyone know what the problem may be??? Urgent!!! Thanks...

In order to import and export DXF and DWG files, the option #Use Fast HLR must be unchecked in the #Utilities, #Environment dialog box... This must be one of the changes you have made... Daniel Pro/E Specialist
 
That was exactly the problem. I unchecked the "Use fast HLR" option and the normal drawing file types reappeared.

Great tip! Thanks!
