Great thread! Is there a way to export dxf from a face in SW in a single click? Often I need a simple plate in the shop and I've never counted the clicks it takes to take a simple part from SW to CNC plasma but its a lot (if I include running it through nesting). I could theoretically draw the part at the machine but like to run it through nesting so all speeds and gas setting are done for me.
So in SW I select face, Save as DXF (1) brings up left dialogue box, click OK (2) brings up my layer mapping, hit ok (3), brings up the preview (4) finally its saved. I know its minor but is there a shortcut? Can I make a button for it?
Yes you can just Save-As, pick DXF and it lets you select the face you want to save. I usually square up to the face and then Save-As so I'm sure I have it right.Great thread!

Right-click Face, type "X" (Export to DXF / DWG), type Filename, <enter> to close dialog, <enter> to confirm export.Great thread! Is there a way to export dxf from a face in SW in a single click?
