ThisDrawing.Export

Hi to all,

Is the dxf file created by ThisDrawing.Export a 2004 dxf? I need a 2000 dxf.

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.

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.

 

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.

 

BTW, Ed, Export does do a dxf file. The docs are a bit misleading.

If you are using autoCAD 2004/5, yes.

You will need to use Ed's approach to get a 2000-version dxf file.

Yeah, I clarified that *and* submitted a report to adesk.

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. ;-)

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.

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?
