From a cutting plane view I've traced an orthophoto with CAD linework to produce a pictorial 2D elevation drawing. I now want to output this as a 2D CAD file from a Dynaview/sheet view.
I select the linework in the sheet view. I then run the export to CAD command, and select appropriate format. View filter settings are set so that the relevant data is visible.
When I open the file in any CAD program (or reimport it as CAD to TBC) The border and scale bar display beautifully in model space (or layout/paper space views). But only the border and scale bar are in the drawing, the linework is not. The layers containing the linework I want, have not been exported.
It is clearly selected, see image attached.
What have I done wrong? Is there a way in addition to the view filter, which somehow dictates what is exported to CAD from a sheet view despite being selected? Must I create a different type of sheet? I copied it to other types with the same result.
Please tell me how to output this sheet view to a CAD file. I have scoured the help. It seems like it should be obvious or easy to do.
As a work around before I discover the solution, I have been exporting model space linework to a DWG/dxf and then 'flipping' it (Z coord becomes Y coord) so that it appears as 2D elevation in top view of model space. Alternatively I create a layout view in X Z plane in the 3rd party software.
However this method is time consuming & frustrating when the Dynaview clearly should be able to be used in TBC to do this, and output in a usable format
I await your assistance, Thanks in advance

Hey Ben,
This looks like it may be some missing functionality from TBC currently. We're looking into and will keep you posted. Thanks for the feedback.
