Hello,
My .aec file increases in size from 2M to 40M when exporting to .dxf format which makes the file impractical to e-mail. The file has many 3d symbols which I assume are the culprits. I do not need any 3D in the .dxf file. Just want another CAD program to be able to look at and make changes in 2D. Is there a macro or command that will take the .aec file with all layers on and save everything as a 2D projection which then can be exported to a reasonable size .dxf file?
Been following your forum advice for years. Love this Datacad 11 & forum. I am a custom builder with cabinet shop. I only need datacad every few months for details or to design a custom home now and then. I like that I can get right back into Datacad without drowning myself in an ocean of toolbars. I was using Autocad and would spend a day scratching my head everytime I need to use it again. Not much hair left as a result.
Thanks for all your help.
