the information of an ASCII DXF file but in a more compact form. You can
read and write to binary-format files faster than to ASCII-format files.
For more information about DXF files, see the DXF Reference in the Help
system.
Select Objects
Controls whether the DXF file consists of selected objects or the entire
drawing. When you select this option, the output file includes only selected
objects and the block reference portions of any included blocks. The output
file does not include the block definition tables.
Save Thumbnail Preview Image
Specifies whether an image of the drawing is displayed in the Preview area
of the Select File dialog box. Save Thumbnail Preview Image is also controlled
by the RASTERPREVIEW system variable.
Decimal Places of Accuracy
Saves the file using the specified number of bits of precision. The default
precision is adequate in most cases; however, you might need to increase
this value for certain drawings and for certain applications. If you encounter
problems loading a DXF file you create, try increasing the precision. The
only disadvantage of higher precision is increased file size. Lower precision
is useful for specialized purposes but is not recommended in general.
