Hi all, I have a drawing of the top view of a cabinet showing the front door open in an alternate position.
I found an error in the alternate position view when exporting to DXF only. SW drawing and export to PDF are correct.
Here below is shown what I see in the SW drawing and PDF and this is what is shown in the DXF The alternative position view in dashed lines is scaled with respect to the main view.
I get the same behaviour if I try to convert the view to sketch...
Any suggestion?
Unfortuntely I cannot share the file.

Try running this macro and see if it helps. If I remember right, you have to select the view then run the macro.

Did you get the following error when you are exporting?
DId you change your view scale after inserting the alternative view? If i remember correctly, alternative view will cause some issue sometimes if you change the view scale after inserting the alternative view.

Can you try deleting the alternative view and re-adding the same alternative view and export again?

Yes, I got that message and it sounded weird to me!
Yes I changed scale after inserting the alternte position view.
I solved the problem by removing the alternate pos view and applying it again.

As it was a very simple drwing, I solved the problem by removing the alternate pos view and applying it again.

Thank Josh for sharing the macro, it could be very useful in future.
