Hi Jos Bellefroid, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Define "possible"<g>.

I guess it's possible, but it is very difficult because Moray is a CSG
modeller and not a triangle modeller, whereas DXF is a triangle-based
format. Converting CSG to triangles is a very difficult task.

If you mean is it generally hard to make an export plugin then it's
not hard to make one. If you mean is it hard to make an DXF export
plugin, see above.
