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

        Renderworks background images

        Depending on the export options, either layers or classes
