Hello All,
Not sure if this is not possible in SW or if it is and I'm not aware of an option. I need to scribe centerpoints so our shop has location markers to shoot anchor studs onto steel plates (in liew of laying out by hand). In Autocad, I was able to mark points on the drawing, and then have the points automatically appear on the dxf file when exported and in turn be able to be etched/scribed on the steel (programmed thru the cnc software) while it is being cut. In SW, I have the sketch points marked on the sketch, and the plate is extruded. When I save the part as a dxf file, the outer perimeter shows up fine in the file, but the internal points do not (I see nothing on this forum or online of any solution but I though I remember reading somewhere that only the outer perimeter is exported). I need these points to be exported as well as the outer perimeter lines. I had the sketch as "visible/show" but I doubt that has any bearing (didn't work either). Please see my screenshot and part attachments. Thanks!
