Use the DXF/DWG Output
PropertyManager
to export any planar face or named view from a part file to one or more DXF or DWG files. A
preview lets you remove entities. An expanded set of
geometric
entities is available when you export a sheet metal flat pattern.
To open this PropertyManager:
With a part open, do one of the following:
- Save the part () to a .dxf or .dwg file type. 3DEXPERIENCE Users: If the Save As
New dialog box appears, click Save to
This PC.
- Select one or more planar faces, click
and choose a .dxf or
.dwg file type. 3DEXPERIENCE Users: If the Save as
New dialog box appears, click Save to
This PC.
- Select
one or more planar
faces,
right-click, and click
Export to DXF / DWG.
- For sheet
metal parts,
in
the FeatureManager design
tree,
right-click Flat-Pattern and click
Export to DXF /
DWG.
In the PropertyManager, click
to open the DXF/DWG Cleanup dialog box
to preview the exported model. In the dialog box, click Save to close the dialog box and the
PropertyManager.
After you click Save, the
PropertyManager appears.
