Layer Mapping-Yeah I know 8(

Unread post by picturedrawerGSS »

Ok So I know layer mapping for DXF is borked most of the time, But I had it nailed down and its been working flawlessly for months.
Yesterday it just stopped working.

in a DRW, on a blank sheet I have my part view with a sketch that has its file name.
I would export to DXF and layer map "sketch lines" to the "etch" layer.

Everything is now on the zero layer with geometry....
Any suggestions?
