I am using 5.121.3138.0 #e0bbfc86 version of your software in trial version. I need to export 2d drawing. Window I am getting doesn show share conversion buttons you showed in your help. The export option in upper right corner shows only “save as” dialog with various 3d formats - nothing else. what I am missing?  
Thanks,  
IK

Hi! Please create the drawing first from _Add - Drawing_, place the necessary dimensions and you’ll be able to export it from the drawing interface as DXF, DWG, or PDF
