Create layers in DWG/DXF files for drawing export (old export)

You need to define the layers that are included in the exported DWG and DXF files.

Note:

To keep track on the layers that you have, create all the layers that you need for the final DWG/DXF drawings at the same time.

  1. On the File menu, click Export > Drawings.
  2. In the Export Drawings dialog box, go to the Layer options tab and click Setup next to the Layer rules box.
  3. In the Drawing Export Layers dialog box, click Modify layers.
  4. To add a layer, click Add.

    You can add as many layers as you need.

  5. Click the row of the new layer in the Name column and enter a name for the layer.
  6. Click the row of the new layer in the Color column and select a color for the new layer.

  7. Click OK.

Next you can assign objects to the new layer.
