A .DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) file is used to be inserted into compatible software. This can be converted into a .DWG file, however this will require the use of external software not provided by Compusoft. 

Please note:

  • .DXF export is only possible for the floor plan.

  • If using the .DXF file, the walls will not be visible.  

  • Furniture will be visible in two-dimensions.  

Exporting a .DXF file

  1. In your Alternative, click on the Furnishing mode icon in the Toolbar.



  2. Click in the plan to select it and then on the Menu bar, click on Plan and select Export.
