Extracting multiple layers in a drawing and exporting each layer to a DXF format

Hi People.

I recorded a macro to extract multiple layers (using surface cut) in a drawing and the export each layer to a DXF format (using the Faces/Loops option on the surface).

It seems to run but I do not get any files saved. I am attaching the macro herewith.

Any tips !

Thanks a lot !
