Hello Sarah,

As you probably appreciate, the workspace does not carry any layer data
(except the cosmetic layer) so you really want to export the whole layer
collection to a DXF. There seems to be two obvious ways to try:

First, you could export the map/layout as a Windows meta file and then find
some way of importing this into AutoCAD or other product capable of created
a DXF. You would loose geographic coordinate in favour of page-based units
and this may or may not be important for you.

The second option is to export each layer in a map window individually (you
may find a utility somewhere to do this in batch) and then use AutoCAD or
similar to fold them into a single DXF (observing layer order). This method
would preserve coordinates.

I am sure there are other ways but these would be the methods I would try
first.

Subject: MI-L Translating *.wor to *.dxf?


Good day

Quick question: is there a method of translating a workspace (i.e. layout
features, tab files) into DXF or DWG?

I realize it is possible to translate each tab file to DXF, but I'm
searching for a way to convert an entire workspace into DXF...

Any ideas?

Thank you
