Saving drawing as DXF

By Virupaksha Aithal

You can use database API “DxfOut” to export/save the drawing as DXF file. Below simple code shows the procedure to save the current drawing to various versions of DXF

DwgVersion.AC1021 – for AutoCAD 2007 version
DwgVersion. AC1800– for AutoCAD 2004 version
DwgVersion. AC1015 – for AutoCAD 2000 version
DwgVersion. AC1009 – for AutoCAD R12 version

[CommandMethod("SaveDxfFile")]

public static void SaveDxfFile()

{

    Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

    Database db = doc.Database;

 

    //save as R12 version dxf

    //db.DxfOut("c:\\temp\\test.dxf", 16, DwgVersion.AC1009);

 

    //save as 2000 version dxf

    //db.DxfOut("c:\\temp\\test.dxf", 16, DwgVersion.AC1015);

 

    //save as 2004 version dxf

    //db.DxfOut("c:\\temp\\test.dxf", 16, DwgVersion.AC1800);

 

    //save as 2007 version dxf

    db.DxfOut("c:\\temp\\test.dxf", 16, DwgVersion.AC1021);

}
