IV2018 - "Export Face As" - Defaults to Yellow / Dashed linetype??

RobSinglehurst — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 11:22:24 GMT

I have used "Export Face As" for probably 10 years or more to easily obtain a nice clean dxf with standard white and normal linetype for then using with our laser software.

In IV2018 (installed on Friday) I am getting yellow / dashed linetype.

Does anyone know where the setting are to put this back to the defaults?

Thanks,

I'll have to do a bit more digging to see what I've broken!

Try an older version of the DXF. By default Inventor will use DXF version 2018. Many people can't open the current version. Try using an older version such as 2008 which can be found in the Options on the DXF Out box.

Hi Rob,

I am not seeing the behavior. It seems to work fine for me. The lines are continuous and in white color. Do you happen to use any configuration ini file?

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson,

Thanks for your reply. I am not using any .ini file at all. I have sent you an email,

I have just tried saving as an AutoCAD 2000/LT200 Drawing (dwg) and am getting blue dashed linetype.
