Export DXF file from Drawing

When I have to create a drawing, typically it is because I want to annotate and dimension parts in a scaled format to print out. When I want to export a DXF file I typically want a file that is 1:1 scale and only represents the part I'm wanting.

 

So my question is why is there a DXF export function just for the whole sheet with seemingly no option to have an option to export just the part geometry or even a specific view excluding all break views, dimensioning and importantly forcing 1:1 scale.

 

I understand that a DXF file is useful to more than just part cutting preperation but also to send between different CAD software for 2D drawings. Retaining title blocks, annotations and all of that good stuff. But seriosly why cant we have the best of both worlds. After all the drawings space is perfect to tie bow in the almost complete chain of events.

 

Yes I can just to it in the design work space, but for large assemblies and having it directly tied to the part view (retaining the part name and project name), ignoring projected geometry and hard to manage unlinked sketch names. The cool thing about removing that step is when it comes to exporting I can confidently say that the DXF accuratly represents this part (not an interpretation from a projection sketch) and the export file name is directly tied to the part name and project name.
