DXF Export
The DXF export generates CAD-ready drawings of your project for use in AutoCAD, Vectorworks, and other DWG/DXF-compatible tools. This feature is available on the Studio plan.
Accessing Export
Open the Project menu in the header and choose Export DXF Layout. The export dialog gives you per-screen selection, layer toggles, additional drawing types, and a delivery option (separate files or a single ZIP).
All output is written in millimeters at 1:1 scale.
Per-Screen Layouts
For each selected screen, the exporter produces one DXF file combining the enabled layers. Each layer becomes its own layer in the DXF, so you can toggle visibility independently inside your CAD tool.
| Layer | Description |
|---|---|
| Wall Boundary | Overall wall outline of the screen |
| Panel Outlines | Individual panel rectangles |
| Dimensions | Size annotations in mm |
| Panel Labels | String and circuit labels on each panel |
| Data Paths | Signal chain routing between panels |
| Power Paths | Power circuit routing between panels |
| Title Block | Project metadata block |
If no layers are enabled, the per-screen DXFs are skipped and only the additional drawings (if any) are exported.
Additional Drawings
Beyond the per-screen layouts, several project-level drawings can be included. Each enabled drawing produces its own DXF file. Drawings whose underlying data is empty (e.g. no curved screens, no qualifying 10G screens) are hidden automatically.
| Drawing | Output | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Block Diagram | One DXF per screen | Schematic of processors, switches, and the screen with full I/O |
| Raster Map | One DXF per processor | Surface placement on each video source |
| Video Signal Flow | Project-wide DXF | Signal flow from surfaces through outputs to processors |
| Signal Flow (10G) | One DXF per qualifying screen | Processor → switch → strings topology |
| Curving Diagram | One DXF per curved screen | Top-down panel layout with junction angles |
Delivery
By default, each generated DXF downloads as a separate file. Enable Bundle as ZIP to receive everything in a single .zip instead — useful when you're exporting many screens or several additional drawings at once.
ZIP filenames follow the pattern <project-slug>-dxf-<date>.zip.
