Thanks for the response. I didn't think to check the scaling in the slddrw sheet. I am using a slddrw to dxf conversion, not sldprt. Sorry about the syntax error. One question, does it matter which view I pull in the slddrw to convert to the dxf? for example, should I use a plan view, should I pull in a 3D view? Generally I'm trying to use a plan view with the xy plane parallel to the top face of the part.

So, do I need a post or not for this transfer, I'm still wondering. Thanks again for all the help. I'll report back on what I find regarding the scale factor you mentioned.
