Currently we can export up to R14 in the export dialogue box. Is there a way to export dxf in a 2013 to 2017 format. Thanks!!

Hi Pascal, Thanks for responding. However we are trying to export in a higher version, 2013 or higher. We are using the dxf to give specific information to our CNC to select tools and macros. The same DXF that works for this process when imported into rhino then exported out again fails. This …

Hello - yep, I understand, I was just laying out the latest versions that are available in the most recent Rhinos… I do not have a good idea for you on how to proceed. -Pascal

HI Pascal, I tried looking for a plug in on food4rhino but i didn’t say anything. Would you happen to know of other sources of plug ins for Rhino that i might look at? Thanks.
