      </table><br><p class="para_topic">This list allows selection of the DXF or DWG version you want to create. You can create DXF or DWG R12, R13, R14, and 2000. For NX 4 and onwards you can set versions as R2004 or R2005.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The default is to export to AutoCAD 2000.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Flatten assembly</div>
      <p class="para_division">This check box allows you to flatten the NX assembly into a single DWG assembly structure can only be maintained using AutoCAD DWG format. AutoCAD Xref files create for the components. If you select DXF as the output format, then the assembly will flatten automatically.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to not flatten the NX assembly.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Object types</div>
      <p class="para_division">These check boxes let you select the type of NX data to export to DXF/DWG.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all object types.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Specify layers to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can limit the data you export by only specifying the layers that contain the appropriate information. You can enter layer numbers or layers ranges separated by commas. For example, 1, 5, 88&ndash;109, 190&ndash;199, 201, 206&ndash;210 is a legal specification.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default setting for <b class="uiTerm">Layers to Export</b> is 1&ndash;256.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Drawings to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can either select <b class="uiTerm">All Drawings</b> or you can <b class="uiTerm">Enter Drawings to Export</b> by giving specific names. Commas separate drawing names. The drawing name list applies to all files selected for export.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The system will treat multiple drawings differently depending on what AutoCAD version and format you are using.&nbsp;If you are exporting to AutoCAD 2000 DWG, then use the <b class="uiTerm">Layout</b> structure to represent the multiple NX drawings. If you are export to AutoCAD R14 (or lower) DWG the translator will automatically create a DXF file as the <b class="uiTerm">Layout</b> entity is not available with these lower versions, and DWG does not support multiple drawings in the same file.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all drawings.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Views to export</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can chose to export the <b class="uiTerm">Standard Views</b> (TOP, FRONT, RIGHT, BACK, BOTTOM, LEFT, TFR&ndash;ISO, TFR&ndash;TRI) and/or you can name specific <b class="uiTerm">User Views</b> to export. The views names are comma separated and will export if it exists in the exported file(s).
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to export all <b class="uiTerm">Standard Views</b> and all <b class="uiTerm">User Views</b>.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Assembly options</div>
      <p class="para_division">These options let you decide to use the load_options.def file when NX is run, or you can specify options that will apply only to the translation. There are times where you may be exporting information, but not have the same environment used to create the information originally. Also you may not want to export all of the components and these options let you control the export operation without having to create special load_options.def files in NX.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The assembly control options have the same impact as when used with NX to load assemblies.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is to use the NX load_options.def.</p>
