Export DXF to Polylines Plugin not available with new UI.

I thought I had my issue all sorted out after some help from members here with exporting DXF splines using the add-in. 

 

I opted to change my UI to the upcoming "New Look" that will be mandatory in coming releases so to get familiar with it. However when I went to export a DXF that I needed for my laser software the old "Save as DXF (spline to polyline)" that was located in the Sketch dropdown menu is now not available anywhere I could see.

 

I switched back to the old UI and its available there, so I'm good for now.

 

Do hope that the developer and or the Fusion360 team can sort that out as I'm certain I'm not the only one that this will affect.

Have you tried downloading the latest version from the app shop? From the comments it sound like the developer thinks it should show in the sketch menu when a sketch is active. If it doesn't work probably a good idea to comment in the app shop as well.  

 

Having to activate a sketch to get the option doesn't sound like a good workflow though and there is a comment on how to modify so it shows in the solid modify menu.

All software is up to date, but I did redownload and install the latest app. Results are the same in the new UI. Attached is the screen shot of the Design drop down. It is the same if you highlight the sketch or not.

 

It works as expected in the old UI.

 

EDIT:

 

I found a comment by the publisher about double clicking the sketch to take you into the sketch and the option to save DXF as polyline does indeed show up as an option. Not very intuitive but it does work.
