Hi to all,

thanks in advance

Export doesn't even export to dxf. You have to use the SaveAs method with the ac2000_dxf constant for the FileType argument. -- ---- Ed ---- "joanl" wrote in message news:616704.1088612713003.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum2.autodesk.com...

I have a program written that does export a dxf file using ThisDrawing.Expot. I'm just not sure if it's a 2004 or 2000 dxf format. Need 2000 dxf.

Whatever. The info I gave you was straight out of the help file. -- ---- Ed ---- "joanl" wrote in message news:15828026.1088618381186.JavaMail.javamailuser@localhost...

Clarification: The help doesn't specify. One could assume that it is the current version. The method I told you about *does* give you the option. You can either stick with what you have, or change your code to use the SaveAs method if you want to know what version you get. -- ---- Ed ---- "Ed Jobe" wrote in message news:40e3007d$1_3@newsprd01...

BTW, Ed, Export does do a dxf file. The docs are a bit misleading. -- R. Robert Bell "Ed Jobe" wrote in message news:40e2f37e$1_2@newsprd01... Export doesn't even export to dxf.

If you are using autoCAD 2004/5, yes. You will need to use Ed's approach to get a 2000-version dxf file. -- R.

Yeah, I clarified that *and* submitted a report to adesk. -- ---- Ed ---- "R. Robert Bell" wrote in message news:40e3056c$1_3@newsprd01... BTW, Ed, Export does do a dxf file.

You know, before my first post, I also had checked File>Export and the command version *doesn't* list dxf. Very inconsistent. They stuck it to me. ;-) -- ---- Ed ---- "Ed Jobe" wrote in message news:40e30a4e$1_1@newsprd01... Yeah, I clarified that *and* submitted a report to adesk. -- ---- Ed ---- "R.

I know. If I hadn't looked further down in the topic I might have replied as you did. Even funnier, the example uses dxf! P.S. I submitted also. -- R.

Thanks for the replies.

I had the code written Ed's way to begin with then decided to switch to export because of write protect issues.

Any ideas around that problem?
