I recently attempted to convert (export) a file to .dxf as I have 1000times, but the option was no longer in my drop down menu. Anywhere! I did some digging and saw to do a search under illustrator plug ins, specifically "illustrator formats". It's not there! I did a search on my computer and it doesn't show up at all! I went to Adobe help and found the file for the updated plug in for dfx/dwg and it says to:
Download the DFX/DWG plugin.
Navigate to the "Illustrator Formats" folder in the Illustrator CS3 installation folder.
Please be aware that the path names might be different on your machine if you have installed a non-English version of Illustrator CS3. In this case, please navigate to the appropriate corresponding folder.
I think the only way to get this feature is to download an older version 25.3 which you can do from the Creative Cloud app.
Find Illustrator in the list of installed apps. Under the 3 dots on the right select Other Versions.
This worked for me.

I just ran into this same issue. Figured out that if you try to Save As the dropdown for DwG doesnt exist, however, if you go to File-Export it does. I am running v23.0.1

Did you ever find the download link? I am unable to locate it either.

Hi. Are you working in a M1 Mac? If yes, the latest Illustrator version is M1 native and it removed the DXF and DWG export option but you can run Illustrator in rosetta mode and get those options again.

Just wondering if it is available under the File > Scripts?

The real correct answer is that Export As - DWG has been restored in Illustrator 26.5.
Don't know why it was dropped but happy to have it back.

SOLVED: EXPORT OPTIONS RESTORED. DXF,DWG ETC......
My export options were very limited and did not include dxf, dwg. Everything I read everywhere claimed they should be there. I checked my creative cloud app. and read that my illustrator was up to date. I uninstalled anyway and re-installed and now I have all the save options including DWG. and DXF.

CORRECTION- I only have the option to export dwg, dxf when I tried a small object. When I try to export the file I need to export the options are gone again, Is there an export size limit to DWG ? My artboart size is 240 inches by 96 inches. There must be , because when I copy and paste aportion of my artboard into a new document this one 61"x 96: it now has the options again to export dwg. DEVELOPERS - Please enlarge the area we can work in and export to dwg from.
