When exporting dwg to dxf the layout does not appear entirely with a white background. Can you help me?

My problem is in the conversion from dwg to dwfx. When i open the dwfx, the layout does not appear with the dimensions defined in the autocad. I send a dwfx file as an example.

DXF file format does not have layouts, so nothing is ever exported.

my page is in the green file, and what happens is that only that part has a white background, when the whole page should be.

Your DWFX file's size, 12.6k, is an indication it is empty.

Did you actively change all the 'export' settings to ensure you created what you wanted, or did you hope the default settings were going to do it for you somehow? Show us that detailed pop-up.

What did you try this time? Now you have the wrong paper size or "what to plot" elected.
Are you sure you know how to use AutoCAD and this command?

We want to see your EXPORT to DWF command pop-up in AutoCAD in a screenshot from your AutoCAD program screen: this is the free Windows tool that can help you do that https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots

Attach your .DWG for a test,

It might need a pagesetup.

Thank you, but that way the layers are not active in the dwfx file.

You are not doing enough to ensure you get what you want from that command:

Maybe you need to just use PUBLISH or PLOT commands to create your DWFx files if you find this method hard to rememeber.
