    Inventor 10 to AutoCad .dwg

    I am to be losing a lot of detail when I save a file from a Inventor .idw file into a AutoCad .dwg file. The AutoCad file can not be edit, its only a read only file.
    There is also no color fill in the AutoCad file that was in the .idw file.

    Can you not change the file properties?
    Unclick Read-Only?

    Find the DWG file and right click for Properties, unclick read only.
