When someone outside opens it properly with a dxf opener, are they able to see the model dimensions? will it be in 2D or 3D...If I didnt dimension the idw file to begin with, would the dxf file be dimensionless?

I have one question
What version of Inventor are you using I know that when i export files from inventor 2008 for use in CAM programs it creates a file that is just a .dxf extension file also when you export the 2d drawing you want to make sure that you delete the the border and the box with the part name and that sort of stuff the person making the G code for the mill will thank you also i would make sure that the drawing has not been dimensions because it makes the person running the CAM program delete a lot of stuff and as long as the part was in a 1:1 ratio when you put it on the idw you should be fine
