I DXF out to AutoCAD for assembly, fabrication & schematic drawings because my company requires that all "final" drawings be done in AutoCAD.
I send HPGL or PDF plot files of the AutoCAD drawings to fab vendors, depending on what they require. We send plotted drawings of the AutoCAD assembly drawings to our assembly vendor as I can only generate A or B size PDF files and our drawings are generally C or D size.
