Introduction
DWG Export for Solid Edge - AutoCAD DWG file export add-in for Solid Edge
DWG Export for Solid Edge is an AutoCAD DWG file export
add-in for Solid Edge®. This add-in gives Solid Edge the
ability to export 3D solid data from a Solid Edge part and
assembly document to 3d solids to meshes in an AutoCAD DWG file.
DWG Export for Solid Edge reads the solid models from
the current Solid Edge part or assembly and writes them as 3d
solids in an AutoCAD DWG file. It can also tessellate the solid
bodies into individual triangular meshes. These meshes are then
exported to a DWG file as 3D Polyface Mesh, 3D Face, Line or
Point objects.
DWG Export for Solid Edge is very easy to use. It adds
new commands to Solid Edge. Once installed, it automatically
loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new submenu called "DWG
Export for Solid Edge"
to
the Solid Edge Applications menu
containing
these newly added commands.
DWG Export for
Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation for
each command as well as a tutorial
to get you started in the shortest possible time.

The DWG File Format
DWG is a format used for storing two and three dimensional design data
and metadata. It is the native format for the AutoCAD Computer Aided
Design package, as well as IntelliCAD (and its variants), and PowerCAD.
DWG is supported non-natively by several hundred other software
applications.
DWG (denoted by the .dwg filename extension) was the native file format
for the Interact CAD package, developed by Mike Riddle in the late
1970s, and subsequently licensed by Autodesk in 1982 as the basis for
AutoCAD. From 1982 to 2007, Autodesk created versions of AutoCAD which
wrote no less than 18 major variants of the DWG file format, none of
which it publicly documented.
The DWG format, has become a de facto standard for CAD drawing
interoperability. It has been estimated that there are in excess of two
to four billion DWG files in existence.
