EXPORT_DXF array

MATRIX Array Level: 3

The EXPORT_DXF array exports a DXF file. Only one dxf file is exported per EXPORT_DXF array. If you wish to export multiple dxf files, than you will need to define multiple EXPORT_DXF arrays.

Note
IMPORTANT: When exporting DXF files, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer.
Fields in the EXPORT_DXF array
Description
JOB=NAME Assign top Cell to use. Required. Dynamic Job References are also supported.
FILE=LOCATION File path for the exported dxf file. The path may be either Absolute or Relative.
UNITS=IN|MIL|MM|UM DXF Files are unitless. Choose DXF file units from: IN, MIL, MM, UM (i.e micron). (default: MM)
EntityOutput=VALUE Determine how DXF entities will be constructed. Choose between the following values: Standard, Ignore, Explode (default: Standard).
To generate most common DXF entities choose STANDARD.
To generate filled solids, chose SOLIDS.
To generate solid hatches, chose HATCHES.
To generate Outlines only chose MERGE.
To generate Outlines with Holes, chose MERGE_HOLES.
TextOutput=VALUE Determine how text is outputted. Choose between the following values: Standard, Ignore, Explode (default: Standard).
PathOutput=VALUE Determine how paths are outputted. Choose between the following values: Outlined, Polyline, Polylinewithendcaps, 0-width. (default: Polyline).
FlashOutput=VALUE Determine how flashes are outputted. Choose between the following values: Outlined, Filled, Block_Outlined, Block_Filled. (default: Outlined).
PolygonOutput=VALUE Determine how text is outputted. Choose between the following values: Outlined, Filled. (default: Outlined).
OutputArcsWhenPossible Whenever possible output arcs.
OutputDWG Whenever possible generate a DWG (Only on FAB/ACE for Windows)
OptimizeDXF Scan and optimize DXF for Autodesk compatibility - may be time consuming. (Only on FAB/ACE for Windows)

Example EXPORT_DXF Array:

<EXPORT_DXF>
