Exporting DXF's

Exporting DXF's

Exporting DXF's

(OP)
Is anyone having trouble exporting drawing files to DXF. We have some multi page drawings to export. It seems to export about 2/3 of the views just fine, but several it just wont do it.... (2006 btw - first series of exports on the new release)

There are no engineers in the hottest parts of hell, because the existence of a 'hottest part' implies a temperature difference, and any marginally competent engineer would immediately use this to run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.  This is obviously impossible.

RE: Exporting DXF's

Are you using the Task Scheduler to export all the sheets sequentially? Does it just stop?
Using SW06, can you do a save-as to dxf, the problem sheets individually?

Hey Cory,

It's when we Save the sheets individually that the problem occurs. I havn't tried the task scheduler yet...

I doubt the Task Scheduler will help ... but it won't hurt to try.

Can you save-as any other format?

Try switching from "High Quality" to "Draft Quality", then save as DXF.
