How to permanently outpout dxf/dwg to 1:1 scale
Hello, I do have plenty of parts to export as DWG/DXF.
Drawing have been setup for PDF view and when using task scheduler, I can't force the drawing to be exported as 1:1 scale.
Any idea how to deal with this without opening 100 parts, 100 drawing, one per one then changing 100 time the export option to 1:1?
Thanks
Accepted answer
go to save as in the part you want to save as a dwg/dxf and select option. there is then a 'Scale output 1:1' that you select and save. this is a system option so it should stay selected after you select OK for future exports.

To permanently output DXF/DWG files to a 1:1 scale in SolidWorks, you can follow these steps:
Open the SolidWorks part or drawing file you want to export as a DXF/DWG.
Go to "File" > "Save As" and choose either DXF or DWG as the file format.
In the save dialog box, click on the "Options" button.
In the DXF/DWG Output Options dialog box, go to the "Scale" tab.
Select the "1:1" option to set the scale to 1:1.
Click "OK" to close the DXF/DWG Output Options dialog box.
Choose the desired location and filename for the exported DXF/DWG file.
Click "Save" to export the file.
By setting the scale to 1:1 in the DXF/DWG Output Options, you ensure that the exported file will be at a 1:1 scale. Keep in mind that this process applies to individual part or drawing files in SolidWorks. If you are working with assemblies, you would need to repeat these steps for each part or drawing file within the assembly.
Remember to double-check the exported DXF/DWG file to confirm that the scale is correct. You can use CAD software such as AutoCAD or DraftSight to open and verify the scale of the exported file.
