Export prompts
Overview
Depending on the situation, the DXF and SVG exports ask up to two questions before the file is written. Both are browser prompts with “OK” and “Cancel”.
In the model with a selection
“n elements selected. OK = export the selection only / Cancel = export all elements” — “OK” writes the selected elements only, “Cancel” everything visible. Without a selection the question does not appear.
As of v3.0.23 this prompt appears in German in the English interface as well.
On a sheet
“Export paper space — OK = sheet, flattened (scale applied) / Cancel = model content”:
| Answer | Result |
|---|---|
| OK | the whole sheet, flattened: viewport contents at the viewport scale and clipped at the viewport edge, plus the sheet’s frame, title block, dimensions and hatches |
| Cancel | the content of the model, unscaled (“Export in paper space: the model content is exported”) |
For the DXF export the “DXF options” dialog appears as well, offering the same choice between sheet and model content along with the familiar switches (DXF profiles).
File names
Model: “zeichnung.svg” or “zeichnung.dxf”. Sheet: “zeichnung_Layout_1.svg” — special characters in the sheet name become underscores. The status bar reports the name (“SVG exported: sheet Layout 1 — n elements → …”).
