Hiding the layers with title block and dimensions works in SharkCAD, however the dimensions appear in the DXF and DWG. The title block does not. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Is there any workaround other than deleting all dimensions before export?

You could try exporting "Selected Only". Tim I checked "selected only". The DXF contains all layers (that could be fixed), dimensions and drawing end up in the same DXF layer "sheet view drawing1", a dimensions layer is not in the DXF. So it is impossible to turn off dimensions. Anyway, they should not be there. Matthias

I'm using 1:1 A3, A2 etc sheets for laser cutting... Matthias
