export to DXF data format

DXF is a data format developed by Autodesk for enabling interoperability between CAD programs.

ProfiCAD can export documents to DXF format version 21 (AutoCad 2007).

Online Conversion

Free online converter from SXE to DXF format is available on http://gallery.proficad.com/tools/ProfiCAD-AutoCAD.aspx (In ProfiCAD use command "Help - Online Converter to DXF").

Export directly from the program

Is available only in commercial version. Select menu command File - Export to DXF to export the current document. A dialog window appears where you need to select the output location of the conversion.

A greater number of drawings can be converted from the command line in a batch mode.

The procedure:

1. Launch the command line.
2. Navigate to the directory where the program is installed (probably C:\Program Files\ProfiCAD\)
3. Go to subdirectory "lib"
4. Execute statement
   for %g in (location_of_the_drawings\*.sxe) do proficad2dxf.exe "%g"
   For example if the drawings you want to convert are in directory "h:\test", the statement will look like this:
   for %g in (h:\test\*.sxe) do proficad2dxf.exe "%g"
5. The statement will convert all drawings in the path, including those in the subdirectories
