Items Which Cannot Export to DXF/DWG

Certain VectorWorks items have no equivalent in DXF/DWG and therefore cannot be exported. Other items could be exported, but inadequate support in AutoCAD makes it inadvisable to do so. A few objects (such as worksheets) could in theory be exported to something useful, but VectorWorks currently lacks support for doing so.

The following list includes items that do not export to DXF/DWG, for various reasons.

 

Textures	Record format information attached to arbitrary objects
Rendered views	RenderWorks background images
Image props	Oblique cavalier and oblique cabinet projections
Lights	Object names attached to arbitrary objects
EPS or vector PICTs in some cases	Layer transfer modes other than Paint
“Graying” of layers and classes	Design layers with perspective views
Individual layer scales	Depending on the export options, either layers or classes
