Export Selection to DXF

Export a selection of features to a DXF (AutoCAD) file.

Contours, soundings, lines and bounding polygons can be exported to DXF format.

Data is saved in two files:

• The DXF file contains the exported data. This type of file can be opened in CAD applications or viewed in CARIS as background data.

• The DXF_RXL file contains the coordinate reference system, unit type and unit scale of the data. This file is only used by CARIS applications.
