Solidworks: how to create an explode view from sketch and sketch created drawing with only sketch and zero 3d part.
Hello, I need to export as dxf a lot of configuration, but with only sketches, no body part. Basically. It is a frame composed of 7 segment. Each segment length and position is drived by a table.
My goal is to obtain each segment individually in a dxf firnat to imported it into the cnc (my cnc can't accept anything else than dxf).
Several chalenge must be solve:
- the sketch need to be split into segment like explode view sketch. But i believed explode vuew sketch didn't exist.
- each segment from each co figuration need to be on drawing and save as dxf
- the save as dxf from model with several configuration are not working with macro, the macro works only within drawing space.
Any idea?

I'm not sure I understand your issue, but based on what I've read, you should be 3D modeling exactly what your intended design is, exploding the parts, then creating a drawing from the file. Layout your views in drawing space, then export as DXF.
Well, sound like you can't get anything in the drawing without an extrude feature in the model.
So to pass the sketch in the .Sldrw I have to create a boss extrude then supress it.
After inside the drawing I have to go trough the feature tree and unhide the sketch I whant one per one.
It is a time consuming tasjk because the SHOW hide sketch didn't remained the same when the configuration change. SO for each new config, all the process neeed to be done again.
