There are 2 methods for making drawings available to users who are working with AutoCAD:
The method you choose depends on the software the others are using, on how exactly the drawing must match the original drawing, and on the particular views the other users require.
When you turn on proxy graphics in a drawing, users who do not have AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset but do have another AutoCAD-based product (AutoCAD 2000 or newer), can view and plot AEC objects and design data.
You can export drawings created with the software to AutoCAD drawings for the following versions:
You can also export a drawing to a drawing interchange format (DXF) file. A DXF file is a text or binary file that contains drawing information that can be read by other CAD systems.
You can export drawings to the following DXF formats:
Exporting a drawing to an AutoCAD drawing or to a DXF file creates a separate drawing in which all AEC objects, such as walls, doors, windows, and roofs, are exploded to AutoCAD primitive objects, such as lines, arcs, and 3D faces. The resulting AutoCAD objects cannot be restored to AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset objects. Export AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset drawings to DXF instead of saving them as DXF files.
