Contains controls that are used to filter the data that is saved to the output file.

Save As DWG/DXF Options, Filter tab

Geometry

Controls the geometry that is saved to the output file.

• Everything
— Saves all geometry in all models. If a clip volume is used, however, only the elements defined by the clip volume are saved.

• Fence
— Saves only the contents of the fence as defined by the Fence Mode setting.

The fence contents can include elements in the active model, as well as elements in references. If an entire reference is within the fence, the reference and the active file are merged when the file is saved, regardless of the option settings on the References tab.

• Selection Set
— Saves only the elements in the selection set.

The selection set can include elements in the active model, as well as elements in references. If an entire reference is selected, the reference and the active file are merged when the file is saved, regardless of the option settings on the References tab.

Fence Mode

Sets the Fence Mode that, in conjunction with the fence placement, defines the fence contents. See Specifying which elements are in the fence contents.

Clip Volume

Specifies whether a clip volume is used to filter the elements to be saved.

If set to Ignore (the default), clip volumes are ignored.

If set to a view, only the elements within the view's clip volume are saved. The clip volume is defined according to the Fence Mode setting (Inside, Overlap, or Clip).

Models

Opens the Select Models dialog box, which lets you choose the models to save to the output file(s).

Auxiliary Coordinate Systems

If on, saved Auxiliary Coordinate Systems are saved to the output file; otherwise, they are omitted.

Saved Views

If on, saved views are saved to the output file; otherwise, they are omitted.

Shared Cell Instances

If on, shared cell instances are saved to the output file. If off, all shared cell instances are converted to normal cells in the output file.

Unused Shared Cell Definitions

If on, all shared cell definitions are saved to the output file. If off, unused shared cell definitions are omitted from the output file.

Named Groups

If on, named groups are saved to the output file. If off, named groups are omitted from the output file.

Frozen Levels

If on, the geometry on frozen levels is saved to the output file. If off, geometry on frozen levels is omitted from the output file.

Tags

If on, tag elements are saved to the output file. If off, tag elements are converted to simple text elements in the output file.
