How to export face as DXF for multiple extrusions at the same time

Hello, I have this part file attached here and I would like to export a DXF file of its face. This part is made out of multiple extrusions. When I right click on one of them, it allows me to export the face of only one extrusion at a time. I need a single DXF file with for both of them. How can I do that?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

 

Select the first face, click control key and select the second face.
RMB and Select SAVE FACES AS, and select dxf format.

Sorry, the export to DXF from multiple extrusions as you explained is not working perfectly. It is almost working. I am getting everything in the DXF file, but I am not getting this 74 mm dia circle (see screenshot) in it. I need that too.

This circle is visible in the Back view because the central feature is raised higher than the rest. Export faces feature is not working in this view. It works in the Front view but from then it doesn't get that circle in it. Would you have any ideas how can I get this circle too in the DXF file?

 

Attached is the updated part file.

  1. Create the last extrusion as a new solid (Anyway, this should be an assembly, since there are several separated parts)
  2. Create the drawing
  3. Save as ->Save copy as: select the dxf format
