Exporting drawings to DXF

I am have started to use 9.02 more recently, and, cannot seem to save assisting geometry and hidden lines into DXFs any longer (1-01-05) in D-CAM. I have tried it with several different positions, and tried every check box and option possible. When going into D-CAD 2d, they all come through, just not to DXF.

Is anyone else having this problem? I use this quite often for exporting center lines generated from the engineering "transfer plane frame" (1-03-3) for analysis purposes.

I've tried having all of the layers are switched "on" when viewing the DXF in a viewer (there are only two- "DEFAULT", and "DNATextfield").

This may be the point of issue though, as, the things that don't show up are all the things that are on layers turned off when brought into D-CAD, such as on "DNALines"; a layer that doesn't show up / get exported into the DXF.

Looking forward to the update. Now that I've made the switch to 9, I can't go back, and, I am missing the ability to export to my engineering software.

Much obliged,

Joe

I'll try explaining a little better:

I create centerlines using 1-03-3, and then turn off all of the solids (I want to export the centerlines only, so I can use them in my engineering software). Attached is what is generated using this for a single basic "bent". The Blue lines are assisting geometry on the wall layout, which I have turned on here as well.

I then try "saving current view", using 1-01-5. I have tried checking some or all of the options, and it doesn't seem to matter.

If I open this position in D-CAD, only the "Blue Lines" from D-CAM show up (as the black horizontal line) which is the assisting geometry from the wall layout.

If I open up the layers (4-1), the "DNALines" layer defaults to being off. The assisting geometry from the wall layout (the "Blue Lines") are on the "default" layer, but, the assisting geometry is on the DNALines. (Note if I had hidden lines or the like in the view in D-CAM, from creating a section using 9-8, these also come in on their appropriate layer, but, are turned off).

If I turn on the "DNALines" layer, the lines show up in D-CAD. This isn't a big deal, to turn layers on and off...

When I open the DXF file that was created, only the "Blue Lines" show up, just as when I originally opened it in D-CAD.

However, when I go to turn the layers on, there are not any additional layers (No "DNALines") to turn on.

Hope this is enough you can follow?
