Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Click the
icon from the toolbar. -
Select File > Export > Export or Export by Pick from the menu bar.
From the Export dialog, select DXF from the Files of Type field.
Convert (export) Cimatron files into DXF or DWG files. Cimatron attributes are mapped to DXF/DWG attributes using specific rules.
UseUse this data interface operation. To export to a DXF/DWG file, follow the general export interaction. The parameters specific to this operation are shown below (these are displayed when the Expand button 
is pressed in the Export dialog).
For a summary of the Data Interface Import/Export formats supported by Cimatron (including their CAD version numbers), see Cimatron's Import/Export Capabilities at a Glance.
Cimatron retains the settings of the data interface (Import/Export) dialog from its last use, including the menu state (expanded or collapsed) and the tab that was opened.
Note: To define default settings for the Advanced parameters, use the Data Interface Preferences. Click the Preferences 
icon (at the top right of the Export dialog) to open the Preferences Editor and go to General > Data Interface.
Note that when exporting an assembly view to DWG, each instance of a part will turn into a block within the block of the view. Also, when exporting to DXF/DWG, the Advanced dialog for Export Modeling and Export Drafting is different.
Export Modeling
The two tabs, General and Parameters, are described in this section.
General tab
