Is it possible to export artboards individually as DXF? When I choose File > Export > Export as, the check box to USE ARTBOARDS is greyed out an unavailable. Is there a work around? Thank you.

I've just had this problem and I was able to solve it by selecting the artwork and 'Export As ...' just the selected artwork as a .dxf file. No other artwork else was exported despite being visible on screen.

Hope this helps.

Hi @SARAH34625147nq88,

Thanks for reaching out. Exporting artboards individually as DXF directly from Illustrator is not possible. However, you can use a workaround by saving each artboard as a separate AI file (File > Save As), and then exporting those AI files to DXF using action or script.

If you're familiar with scripting or actions, you may automate this process. Otherwise, consider exploring third-party solutions or scripting resources that could assist in batch-exporting AI files with multiple artboards to a separate DXF file.

I hope this helps! If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Best,

Anshul Saini
