Efficiently Convert SOLIDWORKS to DXF with PDMPublisher
Streamline your 2D data exchange with PDMPublisher’s automated SOLIDWORKS to DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) conversion. Directly from your SOLIDWORKS PDM, effortlessly generate accurate and compatible DXF files for CNC machining, laser cutting, and other downstream manufacturing processes. Eliminate manual export complexities, maintain geometric precision, and ensure consistent output for improved production efficiency and reduced errors.
Why PDMPublisher to Convert to DXF?
- Automate the batch conversion of SOLIDWORKS drawings to DXF format for efficient preparation for manufacturing.
- Maintain the geometric accuracy of lines, arcs, and splines for precise output in CAM applications.
- Define specific export settings to optimize DXF files for different machine controllers.
- Control the versioning of exported DXF files within SOLIDWORKS PDM for reliable data management.
- Streamline the transfer of 2D geometry to various manufacturing software.
Key Features for DXF Conversion with PDMPublisher:
- Automated Batch Conversion: Convert multiple SOLIDWORKS drawings to DXF in a single automated task.
- Precise Geometric Translation: Ensure accurate conversion of lines, arcs, and splines.
- Configurable Export Settings: Define output parameters optimized for specific manufacturing needs.
- Integrated Version Control: Manage and track exported DXF files within SOLIDWORKS PDM.
- Layer Control: Maintain or customize layer information during the DXF conversion process.

Manual Hassle
Manually exporting SOLIDWORKS drawings to DXF often involves careful selection of entities, potential issues with spline and arc conversion, and the risk of losing critical geometric information. Ensuring compatibility with specific machine controllers and maintaining consistent output across multiple drawings can be a time-consuming and error-prone process.
Automated Ease
PDMPublisher simplifies the SOLIDWORKS to DXF conversion by automating the process directly within your PDM workflows. You can define predefined export settings, ensure accurate geometric translation, and batch convert multiple drawings, leading to a more efficient and reliable data transfer process for your manufacturing needs.
