My manufacturing department generates flat patters for our laser files in a software called Bysoft. The files are sometimes generated in English, sometimes in metric. I am then able to export that data into DXF format. Because AutoCAD is no longer going to be doing floating licensees, my company has decided to rely solely on Solidworks for both 3D and 2D file manipulation and creation. Solidworks has many different settings when importing 2D data from DXFs, so I'm wondering what has worked best for everyone? Not only file creation, but over time, I may need to edit the drawings to either add or subtract dimensions. What settings do you select on the import to best work with the files in Solidworks accurately(avoid scaling issues and make the parts fit on an A size print and still be able to dimension)?
