Export to a DXF File
Available from the File/Export submenu
See also Export
Many CAD programs can read DXF files. DXF is the public file format for AutoCad.
After you select a filename for the DXF file, you are shown an Options screen.
Start the export by clicking the Export to DXF File button after setting the following options as necessary:
DXF Version: You can choose to export in Autocad version 14 or version 2000
Export Hidden Text: If your plan has hidden text (See View Menu), it will not be exported unless you check this box.
Export Hidden Dimensions: If your plan has hidden dimensions (See View Menu), they will not be exported unless you check this box.
(the two items above will be "grayed out" if there is no hidden text or dimensions in the plan)
Export Entire Plan to One DXF Layer: Check this box if you want all layers exported to the same DXF layer.
Export Each Layer to a Corresponding DXF Layer: Each drawing element in the DXF file will have the same layer assignment and layer name as it had in Home Plan Pro. This option takes a little longer to export.
(the two items above will be "grayed out" if there is only one layer in the plan)
Export Visible Layers Only: If one or more layers have been made invisible, they will not be exported.
Export All layers: All layers will be exported, whether or not they are visible.
(the two items above will be "grayed out" if "Export Entire Plan to One DXF Layer" is checked)
NOTE: Home Plan Pro draws your plan in the DXF format according to your current zoom setting. The more you zoom in, the larger the dxf plan will be.
You may want to experiment with different zoom settings.
