Hi Martin, I have a query about DXF ouput. Yesterday I wanted to output a DXF image of a diamond crossing, so selected the diamond and made the two halves a grouped item. I then did the output, making sure I had selected group templates only. When I viewed the resulting output file, I found I had also another switch template, which had been out of view on the workpad at the time of the output, as well as the required diamond. Now the switch template had not been included in the group with the diamond, so why did it get included in the output file ? Today I tried the same experiment, with the same items and got the same result, an unwanted template that had not been grouped. See images below: The first image shows the Templot workpad at time of outputting file. The second image shows the resulting DXF file when viewd with a suitable program. Can you please explain what may be going wrong ? All the best, Brian Nicholls. Templot Screenshot 1853_250936_210000000.gif  DXF Viewer Screenshot 1853_250937_110000000.gif  |

p.s. Brian, a thought: You did click selected group only on the DXF dialog, and not on the file export dialog? 2_251242_140000000.png  There is a note about that by the DXF button on the file export dialog, but I can see scope for confusion. I will do something about it. Martin. |

Brian, a thought: Hi Martin, I must apologise for that, you were absolutely right, I did omit to click selected group only on the DXF dialog, and only clicked that on the file export dialog. As you say, some confusion, I thinking it only required the selection once, but blame myself for not looking more carefully at the selections in the DXF box. Sorry again for troubling you. All the best, Brian Nicholls. |
