Export Drawings to Other File Formats | 717
You can control floating-point precision of the DXF format up to 16 decimal
places and save the drawing in either ASCII or binary format. If you do not
want to save the entire drawing, you can export only selected objects to
remove extraneous material.
To create a DXF file
1 From the File menu, choose Save As.
2 In the Save Drawing As dialog box in the Files of Type box, select a DXF
format.
To save the entire drawing in DXF format, go directly to step 4.
To save specific objects, in DXF format, choose Tools Options. In the
Saveas Options dialog box, select the DXF format you want and select
Select Objects. Enter a value for the number of decimal places of
accuracy and choose OK.
3 In the Save Drawing As dialog box, select a folder, enter a file name, and
choose Save.
AutoCAD appends the .dxf extension to the file name.
4 If you chose to save specific objects, select the objects and press
ENTER.

WMF Files
The WMF format is used by many Windows applications. A WMF (Windows
metafile format) file contains either vector graphic or raster graphic formats.
AutoCAD creates WMF files in vector graphics only. A vector-based format
allows for faster panning and zooming than other formats.
To create a Windows metafile (WMF)
1 From the File menu, choose Export.
2 In the Export Data dialog box, in the Files of Type box, select Metafile
(*.wmf).
3 Select a folder, enter a file name, and choose Save.
AutoCAD appends the .wmf extension to the file name.
