Before you begin: Save the latest changes to your model before exporting to a DXF file.
  1. From the Tools section of the action bar, click Save as DXF .
  2. (Optional) In the File name text field, enter a new file name. The default file name is the name of the model in the Design Manager.
  3. Select the location to save the file to:

    3DDrive Saves to a 3DDrive folder. You can also get a link to the file in 3DDrive to share.
    File on Disk Saves to a local file on your computer.
  4. (Optional) In the Spline tolerance text field, enter a value between 0 and 500,000 mm. Lower values create more spline points to define curves, resulting in greater accuracy in the exported file. The default is 1 mm.
  5. Click in the work area to select parallel faces in your model to export. You cannot select nonparallel faces.
  6. Click Save.
