FH10- can't export a .dxf

[Julie Hick webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

According to Macromedia, I should be able to export my FH10 file as a .dxf. (I need to get it into AutoCAD.) However, there is no choice for dxf in the file extensions when I go to export.

How do I do this? Do I need a plug-in?

See this technote:

BTW, FHMX cannot export to .dxf either.

Julie,
What we do in the rare cases we need to send a dxf is use Mapublisher to
create a shapefile and then use ArcView with a dxf-export extentie to
create a dxf. Previously we used Corel Draw to convert a Eps to dxf,
very limited options.
