Oh yes!

It is invoked by pressing SaveAs while in the 3D window, and choosing DWG as the format.

The Translator needs to be set up.

Why do you want to do this? Just curious

Djordje,

But you won't get any notes of dims etc. You will only get the 3D model with no 2D info.

edit: Generally, I can't see this helping in the EDU circles as students often work on projects with other disciplines (engineering, survey etc)

According to the manual, the Student version cannot save as DWG. However, the University version (lab version) can. So, if you are running the Student version, take your file into the lab and you can save there. AFAIK.

HTH,
Karl

If you want 2D, you save from 2D windows.

As Karl correctly pointed out, not from student version.
