The exported DXF contains only layers (corresponding to the symbols) and coordinates, but no graphics. (That is, the appearance of the symbols is lost.) If you want to process a map further in a graphics program, the PDF format is the preferred format. There all graphics are exported.

Export Scale

Enter the scale for the exported map. You can enter the scale on the keyboard, or choose one of the predefined scales.

Convert text from ANSI to OEM

Activate this option if text should be converted to the OEM character set. OEM character set is used by old DOS programs and concerns only accented characters (ä, à, å etc.). :Normally you should not activate this option.

If accented characters are not imported correctly in the DOS program, try this option.

Convert text from ANSI to Unicode: Activate this option if text should be converted to the Unicode character set.

Only objects with a selected symbol: Activate this option to export only objects with a selected symbol.

CRT

Choose this button to load a cross reference table. In a cross reference table you can define how the OCAD symbols are translated to DXF layers. If you do not use a cross :reference table, then the symbol numbers without decimal point are used as DXF layers (e.g. symbol 101.0 is translated to 1010). The Load Cross Reference Table file dialog box is displayed.

Export OCAD curves as DXF splines

Activate this option if OCAD Bézier curves should be converted to DXF splines. Otherwise they are converted to polylines.
