Exporting to DXF doesn't include any of the text on sketch 3.

correct. DXF export does not support native sketch text. You will have to "explode" the sketch text into lines/arcs to get it included in the DXF

If you use Save as DXF from the right click menu you can export text but you can only export one sketch at a time like this.

Here's your sketch4 exported to Rhino using Save As DXF.

Are you saying you're simply confirming the behavior, or are you saying that this is INTENDED behavior.

For the record, I put this in the bug forum because it astonished me that it wasn't exporting text without an additional step.

Heheh thanks. This is exactly why the text is on its' own sketch independent of everything else. Makes it easier to explode.

actually, I was mistaken. Save as DXF from a sketch does support text now. I think my info was outdated. Thanks to @HughesTooling for explaining how to use this.

Oh hell I didn't even know that was working.. Now if they could just make the export function use whatever tweak they did to the single sketch save as we can close this.
