Exporting AutoCAD Architecture drawings to a DXF format provides more
consistent results than saving drawings as DXF files. Exporting creates a new
DXF file with all AEC objects exploded. The original drawing is not affected.
Depending on the size and complexity of the original drawing, the resulting
AutoCAD drawing may contain a large number of primitive objects, which
can affect drawing performance.
NOTE When you export a drawing to a DXF file, all AEC objects are exploded to
AutoCAD primitive objects. Reopening the file in the software does not restore
these primitive objects to AEC objects.
1 Click ➤ Export ➤ AutoCAD.
2 Select the DXF format you want to use.
3 Enter a file name, and specify a path, if necessary.
The default file name includes any prefix or suffix that you
specified on the AEC Editor tab of the Options dialog box. For
more information, see Changing the AEC Editor Settings on page
203.
4 Click Save.
