Maybe I'm missing it somewhere.  Is there a way of exporting only selected entities to dxf?  I would be happy to be able to do it from the command line, if that's possible.

Thanks for the awesome software on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

EDIT- Ok, I see that one can use the "EXPORTDRAWING" command and a dialog box pops up and lets me specify if I want to select all or just an entity. Giving the filename a *.dxf extension creates a dxf file- that's good.

My next question related to this:  can all this be done in a one line command that I can tie to a menu command? Say I want to select a point and then export it's coordinates to a file called "temppoint.dxf" - could I make that into something like:  ^C^C_EXPORTDRAWING;/tmp/temppoint.dxf;;; ?

I don't want to deal with the dialog and I have a specific purpose for the temp dxf file.

Thanks.
