Hello everyone, 

I have a file to export from Illustrator in Dxf format, but when I go to "export as" it only gives me 5 choices:

- txt

- jpg

- png

- psd

- svg

- tiff
How to export to Dxf format?
I am using Illustrator version 2022 (v26.0.1)

Thanks and have a good day

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. Could you please share a few more details like:

  • What is the size of your canvas?
  • Is this happening while exporting a specific file?
  • Could you please share this file with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud, dropbox, google drive, or any other similar service and share the download link here or via DM. We'll check it at our end.

 

We are here to help. We just need more information.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

I've seen this asked 100 different ways in the lasy year.  DOES ILLUSTRATOR OUTPUT TO DXF?  Simple freaking question.  I have updated Illustrator and CANNOT output dxf's.  DOES ILLUSTRATOR OUTPUT TO DXF?

 

We absolutely need an honest answer to this question, because if it cannot and it seems as if it DOES NOT WORK WITH AUTOCAD files in or out, we will need to find other software that can.  Please provide us with an adequate answer.

Darn... and here I was ready to lie...

 

Yes, Illustrator EXPORTS to DXF and DWG. (AutoCAD should export to AI too.)
