task scheduler dxf export

[TEXAN]

Can someone confirm that when using the task scheduler to export a
solidworks drawing to a dxf file that the resulting geometry is not
true size, not 1:1 scale? I noticed that the user has the option to
pick the dxf version and the ability to pick a dxf mapping file but
not the ability to pick the option to export at 1:1 scale. This
opition is available when exporting manually through solidworks and I
assumed that since this option was not available that the option
setting inside solidworks would be used but that does not seem to be
working that way.
Also, I have asked this question before but solidworks never gives
me what I think is the right answer. Why would exporting at 1:1 scale
be an option anyway, you should always export at 1:1 scale so that the
resulting geometry is true size. I do remember that at one time
solidworks did not have the ability to export at 1:1 scale and they
added this option which is certainly better than nothing but I would
rather do away with the option and just have everything export at 1:1
scale.

Thanks

Sam, I've found that sometimes if I don't MANUALLY choose to go through
Options (when exporting) the resulting DXF isn't necessarily 1:1 scale.
And I mean even though the default is 1:1 in my Options. I call it a
"bug", but SolidWorks Corp probably figures it's a "feature". When
using the Task Scheduler you'd have to open up Options and choose OK
every time you made an export to be certain that you're getting 1:1.

How's everything over there in the big, dirty shop on the other side of
the lake from us?

Yes, this happens, really discusting bug!
