Hannes Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Hello, Is there a way to prevent VW (2016) from creating a new folder for each DXF Export? If i export without fills or hatches i dont see a reason to create a new folder for each file. My CAM programs "Quick File import" doesnt search into sub- folders, so i always have to dive into the subdirectories manually- thats a little annoing. I hope there is a solution- if not please add this to the wish list smile. Thank you and Kind Regards, Hannes _________________________ Hannes Lackner Joinery++Tyrol/Austria Edited March 2, 2016 by Hannes Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Even if I always export multiple DWG by Layer, I also don't like the Folder created by VW. Like I am responsible for every else File Saving or Saving As, where to put that, to overwrite or use a new name, anyway. Worse than the Folder itself is, the name you will give is for the Folder itself. The next Time you will export without changing the name or path,it will ask to overwrite, which is fine and as expected. But if you explicitly want to save a different export and so adapt the name and do not change the proposed path, that new Folder will be created inside of the old Folder !?

0 Hannes Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 My CAM programs "Quick File import" doesnt search into sub- folders, so i always have to dive into the subdirectories manually- thats a little bit annoing. The programmer of the CAM solution solved the problem instantly by implementing subfolder browsing to the Import Plugin. Anyway i think it would be nice to have the option to disable creating the folder if possible ( i.e. if no hatches, fills etc. are exported) Quote Link to comment
0 Art V Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Anyway i think it would be nice to have the option to disable creating the folder if possible ( i.e. if no hatches, fills etc. are exported) +1 or to save it in a folder without it creating additional subfolders if I have to create multiple dwg files (e.g. for different design layers) where the hatches/fills etc. are the same for all of them.

It will then create a new folder alongside the old folder with the new name, not as a subfolder in the old folder. Either way this export folder issue could benefit from some more flexibility.

Hello,
Is there a way to prevent VW (2016) from creating a new folder for each DXF Export?
If i export without fills or hatches i dont see a reason to create a new folder for each file.
My CAM programs "Quick File import" doesnt search into sub- folders, so i always have to dive
into the subdirectories manually- thats a little annoing.
I hope there is a solution- if not please add this to the wish list smile.
Thank you and Kind Regards,
