Items Which Cannot Export to DXF/DWG or DWF

Certain Vectorworks items have no equivalent in DXF/DWG or DWF and therefore cannot be exported. Other items could be exported, but inadequate support in AutoCAD makes it inadvisable to do so.

The following list includes items that do not export to DXF/DWG or DWF, for various reasons.

    Textures

    Record format information attached to arbitrary objects

    Lights

    Design layers with perspective views

    Image props

    Oblique cavalier and oblique cabinet projections

    Individual layer scales

    Object names attached to arbitrary objects

    EPS or vector PICTs in some cases

    Layer transfer modes other than Paint

    “Graying” of layers and classes

    Depending on the export options, either layers or classes

    Renderworks background images
