Export a selection to an new external dxf file

All I need this function to do is to allow me to export a selection in model space to a new, different .dxf file (specifically, AutoCAD 2000/LT2000 DXF format). Doesn't matter where the coordinates end up.

And the function can let me name this new dxf file and file location.

Is such a function possible?

use filedia 0 and then dxfout

Oh, that function is exactly what I'm looking for, but do you think you can show me how I would make a script for dxfout so that dxf2000 is the default and it prompts me make an object selection? I think I'd rather have the dialog box for file path selection too, so I'm probably gonna keep filedia as 1.

EDIT:

Oh, and 1 last thing. Is there a way to add in the purge command to apply to the new dxf file?

Check this one from Lee :

btw ,

if you dxf out , no use for purge unless your template is allready 'contaminated'

But if you want to script something , here's something about scripts too :

be aware , scripts dont work with dialogs (obviously)
