Export to DXF Generates Pipe with No Supports Showing

Good Day to you Daniel, 

Please try to export an Example model like WalkThru.dat (Archive (*.APC) (File > File > Example > Archive (*.APC)). You should see this:

As you can see the support is clearly shown in the exported DXF file (imaged on the Left above). 

I could not help to notice that the in your image above the pipe line color is Yellow, this is not a default setting and gives me pause to believe some customization has occurred. Please be sure that all your CAD layers are turned on and not frozen. Supports are typically written to the Support Layer.  Confirm inside of AutoPIPE, DXF Export Layers (Tools > Tools > Settings > DXF Export Layers) settings match this: 

Also confirm the following DXF Export 3DSymbol (Tools > Tools > Settings > DXF Export 3DSymbol)

Update settings as needed to match above. 

Another thought is to reset your preferences, both User Profile and Program Data, see here, 

If all else fails, then only option left is to completely remove, download, and install of the program.

Hello Mike,

How can we show only the support node numbers during dxf export. I don't need to see Tees/Fittings  node numbers called out in .dxf .  Thanks for your help. 

Greetings Ditto John,
