TechDraw SaveDXF/en

Description
The Export page Dxf tool saves a drawing page as a DXF file

How to use

 * 1) Select a Page in the tree view, if the document contains multiple pages.
 * 2) Press the  button.
 * 3) Select a location and file name.

Limitations

 * Radial and Diameter dimensions will only export properly if they are "inside" the arc.
 * Scaling is not supported. The DXF will be drawn in the actual size of the TechDraw page.
 * Units are not supported. The DXF will be drawn in millimeters (mm). Dimension text will be shown exactly as displayed in TechDraw.
 * TechDraw can't export a DraftView or an ArchView to DXF. These views are SVG elements generated internally by the Draft Workbench, so there is no geometrical shape to export. To export a view as DXF, it must have been created with TechDraw NewView or TechDraw NewProjGroup. For example, select an Arch SectionPlane, then use Draft Shape2DView to create a flat projection shape, and then use TechDraw NewView on this object. Alternatively, select the objects from the tree view or the 3D viewport, and export to DXF using.
 * The title block of a page is an SVG template as well, so it will not be exported to DXF either.
 * In general, TechDraw can only export to DXF those elements that are supported by the class of the Import Module.
