When I export a few 2D lines out of my Rhino 8 files as .dwg files, Rhino must be exporting all the layers within the Rhino file, even if 90% of them are empty layers. Is there an option / checkbox to stop this behavior?
When I’ve imported these .dwg files into other software, all the empty layers are also imported. Granted, perhaps there might be an option/ checkbox within that software to not import empty layers (in this case not), but it’s obvious that the exported .dwg has the empty layers in it initially.
The way I currently get around this is to open a second session of Rhino concurrently, make sure the units match, then Cntl+C the few lines I need from the master file, Cntl+V those lines into the empty second Rhino file, then export those lines from that second Rhino file.
It would just be easier and cleaner to simply export a clean .dwg out of the primary Rhino file.
Can this be done?
Thanks
Please try the following method to export only the selected objects:
- Left-cleck to select the objects you want to export,
- Click the menu File > Export Selected…
I was using this command. Now it is working (exporting a file with no excess layers). If it happens again, I’ll try to save that specific file.
Thanks
