Thanks in advance!

Well, since Inventor doesn't have an export or save as option to .DXF, probably the easiest way is to import the file into another CAD program that does support .DXF. I no longer have an active license of AutoCad, so I don't know if it will do it or not. But, I do have access to a CAM program called BobCad that will save as a .DXF. So I'm sure that it can be done. Sorry I couldn't help more... stupid one year licenses on software... expired about two weeks ago...
