This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at When drawing on different layers I expected to be able to select individual layers to be exported by making the others invisible.
However, it looks like the DXF export function always exports all layers.
Any ideas how to export only selected layers?

Ensure the desired method is selected in the dropdown menu?

Have a nice day.
I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1
The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

From the menu
- File
- Save a copy (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S)
- Select Filetype
In my installations (Inkscape 0.48 or 0.91) "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (.dxf)" is the 15th from the top.
There you can also directly save it as PDF.
