Summary0002620: Appears in both V0.16 and daily builds Drawing dxf export not working correctly
DescriptionFrom the Drawing workbench create a new drawing and insert some views. Do a file export and select the File type for the *.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf and enter a .dxf file name. Observe that the resulting dxf file is not correct. In my case it contains just a single rectangle that is not oriented correctly.

Exporting with a .svg file name creates a properly exported file with the title block and all the views that are in the Page.
Steps To ReproduceStart FreeCAD
Create a part model using the Part Design Workbench.
Switch to the Drawing Workbench
Insert a new drawing object
Make sure the created part is selected
Insert some new views of the part.
Do File->Export and select *.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf as the File Type from the drop down list
Enter foobar.dxf for the file name.
Save the file to complete the export.
Load the DXF file foobar.dxf with a program that views DXFs. Observe that it is not correct.
For a sanity test repeat the File->Export with the same File Type filter but this time export as foobar.svg
Load foobar.svg into a suitable program, e.g. Inkscape
Observe that the SVG exported properly.

Is this bug mis-classified? Is dxf export part of the Path workbench?

from forum discussion

>>I only did a quick check with Part Features, but I noted that:
- not all views in a page are in the dxf file
- the dxf file is missing the EOF record so the last view will not be imported by LibreCad<<

Is there a test file(s) available?

@burtbick do you have a test file?

DXF export exists in other Modules (Import, TechDraw, Draft(?). Use one of those modules.
