Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

If I understand correctly, you have a polar array in a drawing file and want to export it to a DXF file format. Can you share this file and tell me the version of AutoCAD you are using and the desired format of the DXF?

Without seeing it, I would make a copy of your file, open it and explode the array and try the dxfout or saveas DXF.

Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question.

Hi,

>> converting dwg to dxf

Taking this from the header I would suggest to run command _SAVEAS and select DXF as filetype in the dialog.

Hi,

>> I have used 2018 version of autocad.

Did my workflow then not work?

Please find the files converted to DXF2010, be carefull, the "Drawing11" has no closed contour as it's intersecting)

HI,

>> Is there any way to edit such drawing?

What do you want to edit, the number of array items or the angle/distance? ... then select the array object and look to all the options in the contextual ribbon.

If it's the geometry that was used to built up the ribbon then select the ribbon and find the option "edit source" within the ribbon.
