Step 1. Create a single part drawing of the item. It is easiest to use the +Moddex_Pipe template as it has no border.

Step 2. Ensure there is one view of the part from a top perspective, this will be the outline of the shape to be laser cut.

Step 3. Check that all of the required holes are a part of the shapes geometry and not a bolt mark. Sometimes bolt marks can overlap the hole, ensure they are hidden from visibility. Also check that there are no extra dimensions are lines.

Step 4. Select and then right click the call off and select 'Exclude template from layout'. Then delete the call off.

Step 5. Export the drawing to DXF by going to the Top left menu > Export Drawings and export with these settings.
