A user would like to open and view a profile in AutoCAD.
Sometimes a user may want to do some additional formatting to a profile for reporting purposes. When this is needed, the profile can be exported to a .DXF file.
To export profiles (and models in general) to the .DXF format, use the following steps.
First, open a profile or engineering profile. For the standard profile, choose the Chart Settings button in the upper right of the profile and choose "Export to DXF". For the engineering profile, click the Tools button, also in the upper right, and choose "Export to DXF".
Once you name and save the DXF file, you will be able to open the .DXF of the profile in AutoCAD.
