General export information:

Export an individual folder:

Right click on the folder to be exported and select ‘Export>Export’ from the drop down menu.
Specify the desired file type, filename, and save location in the Export Dialog window, and click ‘Save’.
Now, the Transformations window will open. Select any desired transformations and click ‘OK’ to proceed’. Your file will now be saved at the specified location.

Export a group of folders (subfolders) as a single 2D DXF/DWG:

Right-click on the parent 3D folder of the group to be exported and select ‘Export>Export’ from the drop-down menu. (Home folder can also be a 3D parent folder)
Specify the desired file type, filename, and save location in the Export Dialog window, and click ‘Save’.
Now, the Transformations window will open. Ensure that ‘Turn elements to horizontal’ and ‘Project elements to Z=0’ are selected’, and that ‘Arrange elements on export’ is selected in ‘General preferences’, and click ‘OK’ to proceed’. Your file will now be saved at the specified location, with all elements of the sub-folders

Export a group of folders (subfolders) as individual 2D DXF/DWG files:

Right-click on the parent 3D folder of the group to be exported and select ‘Export>Export sub folder individual’ from the drop-down menu. (Home folder can also be a 3D parent folder)
Specify the desired file type and filename, save the location in the Export Dialog window, and click ‘Save’.
On the window that will pop up, it can specify the following:
- 1: The file type.
- 2: The folders that would be exported.
- 3: The location in which the file will be saved.
Now, the Transformations window will open. Ensure that ‘Turn elements to horizontal’ and ‘Project elements to Z=0’ are selected’, and that ‘Arrange elements on export’ is selected in ‘General preferences’, and click ‘OK’ to proceed’. Your file will now be saved at the specified location, with all elements of the sub-folders

To export only selected objects (selected on-screen):

Navigate to the ‘File’ menu, and select ‘Export (Select Objects)’.
Select the objects to be exported, and click ‘Confirm’ or ‘Enter’ to confirm the selection
Prompt to select insertion point will appear. Click ‘Yes’ to specify the insertion point by clicking or entering coordinates.
Specify the desired file type, filename, and save location in the Export Dialog window, and click ‘Save’
Now, the Transformations window will open. Select any desired transformations and click ‘OK’ to proceed.’

To export the entire project (including ‘Home’ folder and all sub-folders) as a single file:

Select the ‘Home’ folder from the project explorer by clicking on its name.
Navigate to the ‘File’ menu, and select ‘Export’.
Specify the desired filetype, filename, and save location in the Export Dialog window, and click ‘Save.’
Now, the Transformations window will open. For a 3D Export, turn off ‘Turn elements to horizontal’ and ‘Project to Z=0’. Select any desired transformations and click ‘OK’ to proceed.’ Your file will now be saved at the specified location.

Exporting in 2D vs 3D:

3D: Export a 3D folder by right-clicking and choosing Export>Export, or from File>Export. Turn off the transformations on the ‘Transformations’ window, and the 3D elements will be exported in 3D.

2D: If both ‘Turn all elements to horizontal’ and ‘Project elements to Z=0’ are selected on the Transformations window, all vertical and free plane folders will be rotated to lay flat on horizontal, their elements projected to Z=0, and they will be tiled out horizontally (not overlapping) on the resulting export file.

Transformations during export

1. File Version	Here, the DXF/DWG version of the file that would be exported can be selected.
2. Layers	Layer for all dimensions: Optionally define a layer for all dimensions to be assigned during export Layer for all text: Optionally define a layer for all text elements during export. _Note: Exploded text is no longer text and, therefore, not transformed by this option. Convert layer names to numbers (e.g., for TopSolid): Layer names can be converted to numbers for software such as TopSolid that does not like long layer names. The number specified is the beginning number. Change the layer of elements based on the column ‘Layer name for export’: With this option, elements are assigned to the layer name based on the table in the Advanced Color Dialog.
3. Explode	Explode texts: Texts will be exploded to polylines, Not text elements. It is only used for exporting to softwares which do not recognize text elements. Converts points to circles (Solidworks): All points will be transformed into circles during export. It is useful for software that does not recognize points. Explode blocks: All blocks, including Installation Symbols, will be exploded during export. Explode Polylines: All polylines are exploded during export.
4. Transformation before export	None: None transformations will be applied to the elements. They will remain how they are. Turn all elements to Horizontal: This transformation will rotate elements on vertical/free planes to the horizontal X-Y plane. Elements already on a 2D horizontal plane or in a 3D folder will not be affected. Project elements to Z=0: Elements are 2D-projected/flattened to Z=0. E.g.: If ‘Turn all elements to Horizontal’ is selected, elements on a vertical plane will be rotated to horizontal, and then projected flat to Z=0.
5. PDF	Also save PDF Snapshot of folder: A simple PDF snapshot of the exported folder is saved in the same location as the resulting export.
6. Export measurement and photo points	Export points as: Points can be exported as Blocks or Points Color of exported points: The color of exported measurement points and the photo points can be changed here.

Note: If both ‘Turn all elements to horizontal’ and ‘Project elements to Z=0’ are selected on the ‘Transformations’ window, all vertical and free plane folders will be rotated to lay flat on horizontal, their elements projected to Z=0, and they will be tiled out horizontally (not overlapping) on the resulting export file if the option for ‘Arrange elements during export’ is selected in ‘General Preferences’.
