I did quick test and it works for me. Try to delete DXF libraries from your macro folder and let FreeCAD download them again (Draft WB -> Preferences -> Import-Export -> DXF tab (enable option Automatic update).

If that won't work attach .fcstd file.

I've tried, the same error occurred!

I use other freecad version, no 2D graphics and the following error occurred:

I see the problem now as it's not about exporting but about importing back again the exported DXF file. Yes there is an issue involved and i get the same error if i try to import attached file in FreeCAD. Probably something Yorik will take a look at when he gets the chance.

Until then you can use LibreCAD to view your DXF file.

[archang]

I can use LibreCAD to view the dxf file in Ubuntu, but i can not use AutoCAD、BricsCAD、DWGeditor、DraftSight to view the dxf file in Windows.

It seems to have a problem about exporting.

[yorik]

Indeed there seems to be a problem at export... issue #2177

[archang]

Another problem: after export dxf file, the hidden lines is missing. (use LibreCAD to view)

Enlarged isometric view, there are some incorrect graphics. (red circle place)
