Saving a DXF file

[WB-1]

Hi, can anyone help me out here. I have a series parts that I want to have cnc milled. The guys at the shop asked for a dxf file for each of the parts. Each part is quite simple. Basically rectangles with a load of holes drilled in it. Each part will use 3/4'' aluminium.

Do I need to provide a 3D image or just a 2D image with all of the holes dimensioned?

I am using SolidWorks 2010, and I have tried saving as a dxf but there seems to be a lot a options which I don't really understand.

Can anyone guide me through this. Cheers

- Create a slddrw of the model with the required view for machining.
- Your sheet scale and part scale MUST MUST MUST be 1:1
- Save as dxf/dwg

ok...

and how do I check the sheet scale and the part scale?

I hope the default is 1:1!

When you click on the drawing view it tell you on the right side what's the scale format is.
