Hi,

Look at the Database.DxfOut() method.

Hi,

Database is a class.
I was meaning the DxfOut() method of the Database class.
You have to create an instance of the the Database class of the Document you want to convert to DXF and call the DxfOut() method for this instance.

Assuming you want to convert the active document:

{code}Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database db = doc.Database;
db.DxfOut(path, 1, true);{code}

Hello

Don't forget to put the DxfOut() call inside a transaction otherwise some strange behavior will occur. Also, you might consider using a higher value for precision (second argument).

PK


{code}
Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Dim db As Database = doc.Database

Dim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
Using (tr)
db.DxfOut(FileName, 10, True)
End Using
