AutoCAD DWG (*.dwg)

Exports an AutoCAD DWG file.

Native CAD file format originally licensed by Autodesk for their AutoCAD package. Used for 2D or 3D design data. De facto standard for CAD drawing interoperability.

When exporting an AutoCAD DWG file the following AutoCAD Export Information dialog will be displayed:

Complete the Export Attributes, AutoCAD Layers and Export Version details as required.

Note: When exporting Polygon items to AutoCad DWG or DXF files the Brush transparency setting in the Styles tab of the Overlays dialog, or the Style tab of the Properties of Polygon dialog, determines whether Polygons are exported as Polygons or LineString items.

See the Transparency topic for details.
