Notes
- This function is available in v0.18 and later.
- This function exports the R12(AC1009) and R14(AC1014) versions of Dxf.
- R12 is an older, simpler version of the standard, but should be readable by most other software.
- R14 is the default version. It includes support for splines among other things.
- There are 2 parameters that affect Dxf output:
- Preferences → Mod → Import → DxfVersionOut - valid entries are 12 or 14. Default is 14.
- Preferences → Mod → Import → DiscretizeEllipses - true: splines/ellipses are polylines false: spline/ellipses are written as splines/ellipses. Default is false.
- If the FreeCAD document contains multiple pages, you will have to select the desired page in the tree before pressing the export button.
- Radial and Diametric 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 mm. Dimension text will be shown exactly as displayed in TechDraw.
