Export only the drawing views to dxf

Hello,

I have a drawing with multiple sheets. Every part has axes, dimensions, tables, etc..., everything a drawing needs.

My problem is that I have to export every drawing to dxf for the milling machines to work with it but, in order to save time, I want to export only the drawing views to dxf. No center lines, no dimensions, no text, just the drawing views. Otherwise I will have to modify each and every part in Autocad to delete the things I don't need.
And this takes a lot of time because I have very many parts everyday.

I tried using layers but I didn't get the hang of it. Also I couldn't find any drawing tutorial to help me with this.

If you have a solution for my problem I would appreciate if you'll share it with me.

Thank you very much,

Regards,

Ovidiu
 
The answer IS layers, set up rules in your model to allocate these items on to seperate layers as the work progresses. You must be doing this to some extent anyway if you are using the PTC supplied start parts. have a look at how those rules are set up for datums surfs curves and axes.
