"Export selection only" option for all exporters

Sminky

Hi,
It's a little strange that just some exporters offer the option to export only the selection.
It would be really helpful to have this option for any kind of exporter like DWG,DXF, etc.

P.S.: It would also be great if we could assign shortcuts to single exporters (ex.: press F5 and the DWG export panel opens).

Thanks for your time and Best regards
Michele

You can set a shortcut for File > Export 3D model...

Having a dedicated File > Export 3D model > DXG, File > Export 3D model > DXF etc... would bloat the file menu and you still end up with approx the same amount of clicks. Also the number of shortcut keys needed grows.

In my Pie Menu extension there a feature to Hijack CTRL+S and when you call Save you get a Pie pop up that has all saving, exporting, importing options in one convenient place.

Thank you for the reply,

I get your point.

The major thing was the possibility to export just the selected entities also when exporting to DXF/DWG. I really don't get why this is not there already seen that other exporters have it.

Hi,
Just a little bump hoping that someone that knows more could say something about the possibility to export the selection only in DWG/DXF format.
