Hello everyone,

My current goal right now is to make a mapping file to export SolidWorks drawings to DWG/DXF.  We are trying to standardize our color coding once it goes over to DraftSight.  Most of the entities are mapped correctly, however the selection for entities is confusing.

I don't see an option for "Bend Lines" from the drop down on entities.  I have tried exporting the PART FILE directly to DWG/DXF, and this gives me the options to have a 0, Bend_Up, and Bend_Down entities.  But that is it.  The rest of my entities for Center Marks, Center Lines, Blocks, BOM, Notes, etc.. all go away.  I only have a few options for entities.  I don't need too many entities to use for our parts, but bend lines is very important.

Does anyone know why these entities aren't showing up?  After I export to DraftSight, I notice that it will think the "Bend Lines" are actually "Center Lines."  So changing the "Center Line" entity changes the Bend line color, but also my ACTUAL center lines (I don't want changed).  I would like to have my bend line and center line entities separate.  I didn't think the mapping would be this difficult, and I feel like I am missing something obvious.  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any and all help!
