Export Face As... option not available for this particular part

[achintya_bhatnagar]

I'd like to export the face of this part as a DXF file. When I right click on its face and select that option, in the DXF file it doesn't show the small circles inside the big circles. When I select the face as well as inside circles by pressing Ctrl+click and then right click, the option Export Face As... is no longer available. How can I export this as DXF correctly? (with the inner small circles as well)

When I select the inner circles too, the option Export Face As... option is no longer available:

Thank you for your help!

Maybe just create a sketch on the top face, use "Project Cut Edges", exit the sketch, and then right-click it to "Export Sketch As...", picking DXF as the format.

"Export Face As" only exports a single face.  Those "inner circles" are separate faces.

As well as the suggestion above, you can right-click the existing sketch and "Export Sketch As..." DXF:

(The advantage of creating a new sketch on the face is that it won't contain the construction geometry from the original sketch.)

Select all faces using ctrl or shift.

If you select one face - it will export one face.

That's what I tried in the second screenshot, but when multiple selections are made using control or shift, the Export Face As option doesn't appear.

I get too many extra lines in DXF when I do that.

I think this can work. I will try this. Thanks.

It worked perfectly! Thank you.

Faces or circles?

Edges is not faces.
