    Default DIMSTYLE wont save for DXF

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Things you should know:
    I am currently running '06
    I use DXF because that is what my CNC plasma cutter can import

    Problem:
    I am trying to save a DIMSTYLE for a particular type of drawing imported from my CNC plasma designer software. But everytime I close out of one drawing and open the next, my dimstyle is gone.

    I have tried saving them as (2000 .dxf) format and and opening the next but it still wont save it.

    What is going on here?

    Welcome in the forum, Rmurr!
    How do you save the DXF file? You can go to the file menu and use the SAVE AS command, or you can DXFOUT from the command line. In the second case, you have the possibility to save only the graphics or the selected objects. Is that what you did?

    Default Save as

    I am selecting "Save as". How can I just save the dimstyle in a folder? I think it is happening bc Autocad '06 is not supporting what I am exporting from my "Profile Master 2000" program used to design shapes. Thanks for your help.

    Can you create a template containing that dimstyle?
