I call this with a single word: BUG

I dont want to climb on mirrors to find the way to get now what I had before!

Engineered Software must quikly corrects this BUG, with thousands of excuses to use all! We pay to go forward, not backward!

I'm also seeing the DXF scale problem on export and it's a killer for me. I send DXF files to China for CNC production, and it's hard enough dealing with China when things all work correctly Smile The exported file is exactly 72x too large. It seems like there's a unit conversion problem from points to inches or something like that causing the problem.

Also, the software update mechanism doesn't seem to be communicating with a server properly. After doing a simple check for updates then proceeding to the more detailed check, the ES updater reports "Could not connect to update database" and also gives a SQL error.

What happened to the options for saving as a dxf? Now you only get to choose the version? I can live without most of them but I found the visible layers only feature very useful. I create files for CNC routing and use layers for various things like differentiating tooling and keeping an editable version of text in a drawing. But taking away the visible layers only option has caused me to have to create multiple versions of drawings whereas before I could just hide a layer save as dxf and not have to manage multiple source files.


What am I missing here? Wink

Step one: Save as- DXF

Dialog box under Options- check version year

Hit "Save"

A dialog box then opens with three options:

Export:

_ Visible layers
_ Sheet Setup (dropdown menu)
_ Entire Drawing

Once selected, click OK or press Enter.

One can export visible layers only. That's my observation.
