Exporting to AutoCAD Drawing Interchange File (DXF)

The AutoCAD Drawing Interchange filter creates
a DXF file. In the Export dialog box you can turn
on Convert text to curves and set export options.
Click the Options button to open the DXF Output
Filter Setup dialog box. Choose from the following
available options to modify export settings:
Tip: Some files export with arcs missing. For
these files, better results may be obtained
using the DXF (GSP) AutoCAD Drawing
Interchange Filter.
Profiles
Choose one of the Profiles to modify how the file exports.
♦ Standard Options (Text DXF) converts the file to an ASCII DXF file.
♦ Binary DXF converts the file to binary DXF. AutoCAD reads a Binary DXF file five
times faster than an ASCII DXF file. You must have AutoCAD version 10 or higher to
read a Binary DXF.
Color Translations
Choose the color format for export.
♦ Normal exports color without modification from the plot file.
♦ Inverse filters the colors and replaces them with the negative (or inverse) color value.
For example, if an object is filled with 0% cyan, 100% magenta, 25% yellow, and 25%
black, the inverted image will contain 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 75% yellow, and 75%
black.
♦ Inverse Grays Only filters gray scale colors and replaces them with the negative color
value. All other colors export without modification.
♦ Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from white to
black) that represents their luminosity.
♦ Inverse Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from
white to black) that represents the opposite luminosity.
DXF File Units
Choose the measurement type in which to export the file.
♦ Inches, Feet, Yards, or Miles
♦ MMeters, CMeters, Meters, or KMeters
