      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Output as DXF/DWG Revision</b> option offers four choices for the revision level, which coincide with the releases of AutoCAD. The choices of R2005, R2004, R2000, and R14 make very subtle changes to the DXF or DWG file generated to specify the revision selected.

      <div class="title_division">Export faces as</div>
      <p class="para_division">The DXF/DWG translator has the ability to output solid geometry faces as the poly line mesh entity to the DXF/DWG file when the <b class="uiTerm">MESH</b> option is selected or output the solid geometry faces as FACET (3&ndash;d face) entities if the <b class="uiTerm">FACET</b> option is selected. You must select solids in the <b class="uiTerm">Translate Objects of Type</b> menu. When this option is off the solid translates as edge curves and surfaces if you select <b class="uiTerm">Translate Object Types</b> for curves and surfaces.

      <div class="title_division">Include view modify/View erase data</div>
      <p class="para_division">The NX to DXF/DWG Translator will output <b class="uiTerm">View Modified</b> or <b class="uiTerm">View Erased</b> data when this option is on. The <b class="uiTerm">View Modified</b> (color, line font, line thickness) and <b class="uiTerm">View Erased</b> (visibility) are changes to the display of the data in a particular view. The NX to DXF/DWG translator in order to mimic this functionality in the DXF/DWG file will output the view specific changes to the data by making copies of the modified or erased data and putting in on a layer name based on the drawing number, original view name and position of the view on the drawing. If this option is off the system will not recognize edits and erasures and will output to the default color font, thickness of the part.

      <p class="para_division">You can control the accuracy of b-curve approximations by setting the density of the approximation points along each span of the b-curve. The value of this variable defaults to 8 with a range of 2&ndash;30. If the values are set larger, the approximation of the ideal b-curve becomes more precise, but the generated poly line occupies more space in the drawing file and takes longer to generate.</p>
