Additional Lines Used for further need of writing additional text into the output file, as above.
Slotted Hole as Two Circles Ehen checked, a slotted hole is exported with two holes. A slotted hole display in DXF as two circles —two arcs with two lines, instead of with one hole.
DXF Output as 2D When checked, exports the exported geometry as plane contour, in 2D. All z-coordinates of the geometry are reset to 0 at output.
Use arcs and lines of instead of Smartlines Enabled for DXF Output as 2D. Uses Arcs and Lines instead of Smartline, serves for division of Smartlines into arcs and lines at output.
