DXF export, free version

patmat2350 — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:49:07 GMT

Did the free version just lose the ability to export sketches to DXF?

I used to do this, now all grayed out.

One day the powers that be will succeed in getting me to buy a subscription... not ready yet!

It might get blocked if you have all 10 documents open you're allowed with the hobby version.

What will sharing a file do? This is a menu functionality question

I probably phrased that wrong, Have you got 9 or less files set as editable?

9 or less, correct

Pretty sure you can only export sketches from the browser using export sketch.

Ah yes thanks. I was wondering if I had just forgotten where the pick was- yep, I forgot!

I see that you have solved your question. Sharing the file(s) is nearly always a good idea here provided, of course, specific privacy is not an issue for you. For the "Forum Elders", it allows insight into the problem that is often not communicated by the question!

"Forum Elders", I am not sure how to take this phrase 🙄. Your point, about the posting of the model, is great though.

The chances of finding clues to solving the problem increase when the facts are presented as precisely as possible. In addition to verbal descriptions, screencasts are particularly useful for illustrating processes, or at least informative screenshots.
These can then form the basis for analyzing the file in question.
In this case, screenshots were the key to the solution.
