[PCB_FORUM] Re: Anyone have problems with DXFout on 15.2?

Board outline and a user created layer called bottom shields.  Like I said 
earlier, both wrote out fine from the same design using 15.1... (which I just 
jumped back to for this DXF) no violations there, and the path was the same 
too.  I have saved the design in both 15.1 and 15.2.  No help.  

BTW to jump from 15.2 to 15.1 and back I change my CDSROOT... other than that, 
the env, ini and everything else are the same.  (although I did try deleting 
the env to see if that made a difference... it did not)

The tool is calling up axl (something), appears to do the work then reports an 
error... If there is a log file in the dir.  If there is no log file it pukes 
that there is no log file... that in itself doesn't make sense.

Hi Gene,

What are you trying to DXF out? Outlines, text, pads, ??? Anything
special? I just did the top and bottom assy information again with no
problems, and it creates a good log file. Don't really know what your
problem might be unless you're doing something outta-the-ordinary. :)
