Exporting 2D AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Format Files
When you export a file in the AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Format (.dxf), the 2D geometry located within the xy plane on the working coordinate system is exported. You can choose to export only the selected parts of the geometry or all of the parts.
Note: If you want to
export a plane that does not coincide with the global xy plane, you must
create a relative coordinate system to redefine the location of the origin. See Creating a Relative Coordinate
System for more information.
To export a file to a .dxf format:
- Click Modeler > Export.
- Use the file browser to find the directory where you want to save the file.
- Type the name of the file in the File name box.
- Select AutoCAD DXF Files(*.dxf) from the Save as type drop-down menu.
- Click Save. The file is exported to the specified location as a .dxf file.
The Export File dialog box appears.
