Export Selected Objects

Why can't I export a selection?  Am I missing something obvious?

 

I need to send just a few selected objects as a .DXF, but I don't want to give the whole drawing.

 

Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to export a DXF from a 2D Drawing or from a Model Sketch?

Either.... I have a drawing with multiple bodies composed of multiple sketches. I want to grab a few lines from them. 

 

.DXF is a format fully capable of 3D linework, but as far as I am aware no vertical curves. I am only looking to extract 2D linework with an accurate XY position to send to a 3rd party.

Removing components from the 2D Drawing DXF is easy and works well.  I personally cannot find a way to suppress components from a DXF exported from the Model.
