PAC4SWX EDrawings options

PAC4SWX is a tool to batch convert SolidWorks models. With PAC4SWX you can choose multiple models from your filesystem and convert all files in one step.

Set eDrawings options

You can set various options PAC4SWX will use for exporting each document in the PAC list with SolidWorks. 

The settings can be saved on a user-bases in the main dialog. If you want to store the settings in a file or read them from a file you may do so from the main dialog.

The eDrawings option dialog is separated in two areas:

• Okay to measure eDrawings
  By enabling this option, a recipient of the eDrawing can measure the geometry in the eDrawing viewer. This can be set even if you don't have an eDrawings professional license, if it is set, a recipient with eDrawings Pro will be able to measure it.
• Compress eDrawings
  By enabling this option the eDrawing size will be smaller; however, some models may not shade as smotthly. This is especially noticeable on lofted surfaces.
• Allow export to STL for models
  By enabling this option recipients of the eDrawings will be able to save it as STL from eDrawings viewer.
• Save shaded data in drawings
  By enabling this option a drawing will contain shaded data information.
• Use eDawings Professional (name filter)
  If you use SolidWorks 2006 (and above) with eDrawings Professional (or SolidWorks Office) you have to check this option, or you will get a dialog from SolidWorks for each document, which prompts which sheets/configurations you want to export.
  With this setting and an active name filter you can select, which sheets/configurations are exported. If you want to export all sheets/configurations just activate a name filter, where all textboxes are empty.
• Choose directory for eDrawings
  If you set the option save in directory of document all exported eDrawing files are saved to the directory, where the document is stored. If you want to gather all exported eDrawings in one directory uncheck this option and enter a directory path in the textbox or use the button to browse the directory (recommended).

Any existing files in the target directory with the same name will be overwritten without warning.
