The DWG/DXF format is renowned for its awkwardness. Don't blame Solidworks for this, blame Autodesk for continually changing the format. Now I would say Format Standard here, but I won't, because as far a Autodesk is concerned, there is no 'standard', which makes it very difficult for companies like Solidworks and Standards such as BIM and PLM to keep a grip on the DWG file system. If you don't like it, stop using industry standard software such as AutoCAD and switch to other CAD developers. As for displaying Solidworks own format, SLDPRT and assemblies, it does this of course with style, and so comes highly recommended. The fact that it also works on the Macintosh is even better.
