Turning on Proxy Graphics
When you turn on proxy graphics in a drawing, users who do not have
AutoCAD Architecture but do have another AutoCAD-based product (AutoCAD
2000 or newer), can view and plot AEC objects and design data.
Exporting to AutoCAD Drawings and DXF Files
You can export drawings created with the software to AutoCAD drawings for
the following versions:
■ AutoCAD 2007
■ AutoCAD 2004 (including 2005 and 2006)
■ AutoCAD 2000 (including 2000i and 2002)
■ AutoCAD R14
You can also export a drawing to a drawing interchange format (DXF) file. A
DXF file is a text or binary file that contains drawing information that can be
read by other CAD systems. For more information about DXF files, see “DXF
Files” in AutoCAD Help.
TIP The quickest way to locate and view an AutoCAD topic is to click the Search
tab in the Help window, select the Search titles only option, and then copy and
paste or type in the AutoCAD topic name, and click List Topics.
You can export drawings to the following DXF formats:
■ AutoCAD 2007 DXF
■ AutoCAD 2004 DXF (including 2005 and 2006)
■ AutoCAD 2000 DXF (including 2000i and 2002)
■ AutoCAD Release 12 DXF
Exporting a drawing to an AutoCAD drawing or to a DXF file creates a separate
drawing in which all AEC objects, such as walls, doors, windows, and roofs,
are exploded to AutoCAD primitive objects, such as lines, arcs, and 3D faces.
The resulting AutoCAD objects cannot be restored to AutoCAD Architecture
objects. Export AutoCAD Architecture drawings to DXF instead of saving them
as DXF files.
