export multiple sheets into one .dwg file

[ran]

Good morning to all,

when carrying a drawing in format .dwg which consists of multiple sheets the program generates a file .dwg for each single sheet in the file. what does not happen with .pdf that "allegates" all in a unique file.

this generates confusion during storage and consultation of the files themselves. Not to mention that when attached to emails, one by one must be selected, slowing down the procedure.

I tried to look in the settings and online but I didn't find anything, so I wonder: Did any of you manage to solve the problem?

the only option and save the inventor table in inventor design file (dwg). This way you have a single dwg with separate sheets.
edit:
the inventor's dwg file is opened in inventor as if it were an idw and autocad as an unchangeable dwg, you can only add quotas or other but not change the geometry of the component in the various views.

Thanks for the answer, I already knew this "truck". Unfortunately in my case it is not good as I need the .dwg to remain changeable. when exported in that way also the background remains white as from .pdf, it seems more a catch.

then the only one is to have more dwg files

In practice, exporting it as inventor dwg uses the sheet space, while she wants the model space that is unique.

hi is a matter that is so from the first versions and for now it does not seem to change things.
but I use an ilogic rule to limit the damage of storage without pdm, which renames the sewers within the idw and export is to be with
file name - sheet name.dwg

Sorry to intrude me, but it's a problem I have with dwg exported from solidworks. considering that in dwg we use only the model space and not the paper space, in the end I decided to open the first dwg and to copy and paste inside the other sheets, one flanked to the other. the dwg printing for us is always and anyway manual, preferably we print the native, the number of multifoil dwg for us is small and in this way I find a single file to manage with the pdm. The autocad operation is still very fast.

Basic inventor export as namefile_Name.dwg, not very different from the configuration you use.

I have practically abolished them in recent years as during the release on the server with pdm generated slowdowns during the creation of the same dwg so I decided to have only pdf.
then in rare cases, if required, genero dwg, besides with many suppliers exchange directly the 3d + pdf table. Obviously the pdf table must report all the indications to be able to perform the component without having to make measurements or other directly on the design.

premise: I speak of inventor files exported in dwg format of acad (I have no idea of the behavior of solidworks).

I don't know about you, but it happens to me that if I carry "n" sheets in "n" dwg files, and then from acad I open them individually to copy them "reunited" in a unique dwg file, the blocks (tables, squares...) that have the same name become all the same.

if instead I scan them in advance, I lose formatting and other properties.

it is true but for example the file is called "covering.idw" consisting of several parts " side to "side b" and " side c " with a fog for each component the export will be "covering - fog 1 .dwg " cover - fog 2 .dwg " and "covering - fog 3 .dwg " that I speak of is that the rule renames the sheet

with inventor 2020 and I think the next, if from a name to the sheet it is also reported in the exported file, as follows:

but you have already tried

with inventor 2020 and I think the next, if from a name to the sheet it is also reported in the exported file, as follows:
View attachment 71485View attachment 71486

correct.
the rule I proposed renames the sheets automatically without the author having to do so.

other thing but as for inventor dwg files, it is true that if you open them in autocad they are not usable , but if I leave and open with autocad, then I go on model button dx and "export in model" and save a manageable file
