When you export using the sw2urdf tool, you can't just move or copy the URDF file alone without its folder. You should give the path of URDF in the folder exported by the tool. So, if you move the entire folder exported by the sw2urdf tool to your root directory, you should be able to use something like this:

p.loadURDF("drawingname/urdf/drawingname.urdf")

I hope it is clear now.
