[DXF Export already exists] feature requests

[japie]

Hello guys,

I use FreeCAD on daily base for my 3d designs (CNC machining) but Qcad for my 2d "flat" work (laser & watercutting) since I have some problems exporting to dxf, somehow I always end up with a sideview off what I draw (or nothing at all), isn't it possible to export or save a single Sketch as dxf? (maybe it's possible but I don't know it)

It works fine here.
Just open the sketch (as for editing) then select all elements that you want to export.
Then File -> Export and choose DXF format

Ensure Edit -> Preferences -> Import-Export category -> DXF tab -> "Project exported objects along current view direction" is checked before exporting

Second post in the wrong forum for you this week. This is clearly a help request, therefore it should have been posted in the Help forum.

Exporting sketches to DXF has been possible for ages.

I'm so sorry, really didn't know that so I presumed it was a missing feature.

If unknown, it's always the help forum where you should ask.

I move it.

Sorry to pile up here, but since this is a teaching moment might as well also ask @japie if you would craft your summaries a little less generic so that other users who search for this can find it via the title. Thanks and keep up the participation. Cheers

Your export file type should look like this.
