If you select all the parts you want to export in viewer and choose export dxf file or export dxf with layers this should export the parts with overlaying lines also

by the looks of your screen shot you have exported the dxf parts from a nest which will not export the other lines

also note that dxf file export will only do a qty of 1 so if you have a qty of more than 1 on any of the parts then you need to duplicate these manually

screenshot below of how I export them

hope this helps

thank you for your response. I will export only one nest sheet and not multiple, i am only using ductboard, and come edges are cut so it could be folded, and the other side will serve as a connector or face to connect to other duct. The folding side has to be on one layer and the other on another. My machine would then assign one layer to angled cutter and the assign the other layer to straight cutter.

I have replied to your previous post (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fabrication-cadmep-forum/how-setup-camduct-to-work-with-ductboard/td-...) also but I'll repeat it here as well.

To get the layers as you want them when exporting a nest as dxf:

You need to setup the DXF Output Layer Mapping to map CAMducts layers to the dxf file layers.

This is done in CAMduct via "Database - Manufacturing - Tool Defaults - Layer Mapping - Export"

See attached screen shots

Yes that seem to work, one last question, changing the mapping would alter which layer is which correct? do i need to change any other settings or this is the only one for DXF export. Do i need to change any settings on the MACHINE setup?

I want to ask something, in the nested image, the green lines represent one layer, and the blue represent the other layer, how do i map that to the real DXF export?

i wanted to know if there is a way to find all the settings done by checking the dxf file it self? the things is that i had this camduct all setup, my pc got corrupt and i lost the set database. However i have some older dxf files that work.

I dont get it, i have assigned all layers to tools, but when i export the nest to DXF, the layers are either missing or mixed up? Please see the attached settings i did and an image of the old working dxf file import page.

yes i know about that i took the wrong screen shot, by any chance is there a way to send you the database? or should i take some images? but this forum allows three images only...

please tellll me how you did it.... this is exactly what i was looking for , please share your settingss!!! this thing is busting my brain for a month now...
