You can control what to save in a Drawing Exchange Format file. This format is useful for exchanging data with many kinds of CAD and modeling systems. These options appear in the Save As File Options window.
Alias POLYSETs are written out as DXF 3DFACE entities (for triangles or quads), or closed POLYLINE entities (for polygons with greater than 4 points). All DXF entities that result from the translation of a single Alias object are assigned to a layer named after the Alias objects node name.
When storing a DXF file, you can store three-dimensional output (3D DATA) or a flat orthographic view (2D VIEWS).
Note
DXF does not support high degree or rational geometry. Therefore, when you save in this format, any high degree and/or rational geometry is rebuilt to be non-rational and at most cubic.
Lets you adjust tolerances so that the rebuilt curves and surfaces are guaranteed to be within the specified tolerance distance from the original curve or surface.
Lets you save the wire model at a scale other than it was constructed. 1.0 is the default value.
Specifies the number of significant digits for coordinate data in the exported file (1 to 15, inclusive).
Lets you choose a linear data unit, such as miles, feet, inches, mils, microinches, kilometers, meters, centimeters, millimeters, or microns.
The exported coordinate data is converted from the current linear units in StudioTools to the unit you select. A comment is written at the top of the DXF file stating the unit.
Some receiving systems require CAD files to have a specific filename extension before they can be recognized. The filename extension you specify here is appended to the filename of the exported file. The default is .dxf
