When I export a Group to a DXF the file includes a background shape (which happens to be my baseboard outline)

It isn't a high priority problem. I can easily delete the shape in CAD. I suspect if I hide shapes it won't do it but I have not tried that.

Hi Andy,

To exclude items from the DXF file, set the layer colour to none:

There are separate layers for solid and dotted lines. Picture shapes show as an outline only.

Or are you saying you have done that, and a background shape is still included? In what colour?

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

No, I didn't set those layers to "none". I assumed that by setting "Group Templates Only" in that dialog and the prior dialog it would only export the group templates :)

Thanks for the clarification.

Cheers,
Andy
