write dxf - How To?

I see the "WriteDXF allows PTC Mathcad users to create 3D models mathematically then save them as DXF files, perfectly suited for incorporation into CAD assemblies." But, I cannot locate documentation for how to do this. I'm new to the community, so I may just not be

Where did you see this? WriteDXF is not a built-in Mathcad function. The only thing I can find is here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/WriteDXF-create-3D-models-mathematically-in-PTC-Mathcad-Prime-3/td-p/450219 . There's no document attached to the post though, so it's a really useless post.

Your link is exactly what I was referring to--I agree a useless post--hence my question and wondered if I was missing something obvious!

At one point PTC posted a lot of documents written in Mathcad Prime. A couple of days later they removed all of them, but not the associated posts, leaving many such useless document stubs cluttering up the forums. I believe you can now buy the worksheets from PTC, although not one at a time so it's not cheap. I have no idea why they did this the way they did. Perhaps it's PTC's idea of "marketing", because it certainly can't be anyone's idea of "customer relations"!

BTW, PTC posted some worksheets on their Support site. The one referred to above is located in CS189645.
