Pendean your answer confused me. I understood that you explain how to load an dxf file. Is it right?

But my question was how to export an dxf file from dwg.

Ah, my mistake, I understood you only wanted to open a DXF file.

You need an actual read/write CAD program, not use a free viewer-only app, there are tons of freebies out there, go grab one.

Hi There, Do you know how to convert a dxf file to dwg using 2019 Trueview?

I've been trying to do this for a good 3 hours and have not been able to find a way. I'm confused why a feature like this would not be added to TrueView 2019.

Thanks Parker, I thought the same thing. Converting to .dxf should be an
amenity of the program.

There are several free (and low cot) CAD programs (and websites) that read and write (aka create) DXF files: help yourself. Autodesk is not offering this ability for free to anyone so far.

Can you give us some names of programs you'd recommend?
