Hi Carlos,

re:

If you are exporting out a file with solids in it where it generates a hidden line drawing, you can control the way layers are generated in the PDF file by pushing the "Line style options" on the PDF export options dialog, then you can set how layers are generated using the controls in the "Layer" column here:



Set it to "From style" if you want it to use the style name in MoI as the layer name in the PDF output.

So for example with a model like this in MoI:



When exported out to PDF if you set Layer "From style", then in Adobe Acrobat Reader you can open up the Layers panel here:



And see the layers are set up:




re: DXF export - a couple of things that make it easier for text to come through for DXF export is that MoI doesn't have to generate text fit inside inline dimensions because it exports a dimension entity for those instead of a text entity. There also isn't the issue of perspective projection not working because the text in DXF has the concept that it's placed in 3D space.
