@Nina Ivanova That's great news. Thank you for the update!

Hi @Nina Ivanova. I just updated to 2025.4.1 and the DXF export is sadly not working. Do you have any idea on timeline for the changes to the line endings to be fixed? Thanks

Files sent. Thank you.

Indeed, the software I am using is called Biesseworks, and comes prepackaged with the machine. It was outdated in 2011 when I purchased it, and runs on Windows XP. Yes, you read that correctly. There is zero incentive for Biesse to investigate why one version of a CAD programs' DXF export isn't working, especially when it works with ALL other versions of Vectorworks. There is something in 2025 that changed, it's not a Biesseworks issue. That said, I will send a sample file to them today to see what they say. We are going back to 2024 for now, and if the problem persists through 2025 and into 2026 then we will look at another program to handle the CNC export. Appreciate all the responses so far.

Ok so I imported a file into the Autodesk viewer. It looks fine.

Not sure. I'll try tonight or tomorrow. But I do know that if I import the DXF back into Vectorworks, it's fine.

Glad I'm not the only one. But frustrating. I feel like I've tried everything to no avail. There is something VW did with the DXF export that is problematic. I will try to submit a bug report and see what happens.

I've definitely been very careful in my settings selections, and I've tried all the variation in AutoCAD versions. I even tried installing VW2024, and it works fine there. There is just something about 2025 that my CNC software doesn't like. I think I'm going to try to reinstall 2025 to see if that changes anything. But it's a real pain because I decided on this version that I wouldn't migrate everything over from 2023. I was trying to make it a clean start as I have some duplicate entries of things in 2023 that happened when the migration manager failed a few times for that upgrade. There's always something....

Not sure if this is the right place to add a wish item for InteriorCAD, but here goes: Please get rid of the update button on the InteriorCAD palette. It's redundant. When you make changes to a cabinet in the cabinet editor, and then press "OK" to accept those changes, the cabinet should update. That's it. That's my wish. As it is now, after you press "OK", your changes may, or may not, take effect. It's a 50/50 crap-shoot. And if it doesn't update you have to press "update" one or multiple times to get the cabinet to change. It's been this way from at least 2016 as I recall.

I just posted this in the Discord group, but thought I would post here to bring more attention to this. From Discord: Update button. Has anyone wondered why there is an update button on the interiorcad palette? Years ago, there was a problem with "zombie cabinets". Then the update button appeared so you didn't have to go into the cabinet editor to force it to update. Now in version 2025 that I've just installed, I was REALLY hoping that stupid update button was gone. But alas, it's still there, and I have to use it CONSTANTLY to update my changes (mostly for door gaps that I adjust all the time whether there is a flush scribe/filler, or set back). Just a bit of a rant, but seriously, let's get on with fixing it. If you press OK after a change, make the change. Don't force me to repeatedly update the cabinet. Just had to update a cabinet 4 times before the change took effect.

Does anyone know what might have changed with respect to DXF exports between version 2023 to 2025? I recently upgraded to 2025, but now when I export to DXF my CNC machine will not import the geometry. There is something about the export file that it doesn't like, but I can't figure it out. I have tried a million different variations and settings, but no go. If I import the DXF file back into Vectorworks, the geometry is there, so it exports just fine, there is some setting, somewhere that is blocking the CNC program from reading the file. Thanks in advance for any help.

Whew. This was driving me crazy. Thanks for the help @Pat Stanford

I accidentally checked the box to save sets every time I use the publish command. How do I undo that? I never want to save sets. Thanks!

This is not an interiorCAD question per se, but I thought someone in this realm might be able to help. I'm having an issue with exporting a DXF file from VW2025 for import into Biessworks, using Biesseworks layer names (like TCHW0B1TC1PT1TCD$1_4$IT1IA45OT1OA45). When I import the file, there is no geometry on the panel. This worked fine in VW2023, but now that I've upgraded to 2025, something is amiss. If I import the DXF into a new file the geometry exists. I have replicated all the export settings from VW2023, but for some reason Biesseworks can't import the geometry. Anyone else having issues? Thanks

Does anyone have any information on the release of IC for 2025? I've emailed extra group, but got no response. To be fair, I rarely get a response anyway. Maybe I'll try submitting a ticket for more info.
