ultiboard export DXF error

When using version 12 to export a DXF (2D), the resultant file is blank. This worked fine in v11. Has anyone had an issue with this yet?

Hello,

 

I created DXF file and was able to open it in Ultiboard. I also tried an online viewer. Attached you will find the DXF file.

 

Are you still having issues with this? We may need to test your design file.

Fernando,

 

No,I found a simple solution.The inital problem was that all DXF files exported from Ultiboard were blank. There has been a CAR for issues concerninf DXF exports in revision 12, so I was told.

I found that any free text labels placed either on a copper layer or silk screen that had a line break would cause my exported file to be blank. Removing the line breaks (CR) solved this problem.
