To export contours to a 3D DXF file with X, Y, and Z values, you can use either the Export command or the Export Contours command.
The Export command exports the contour map with line and fill colors, line styles, labels and any other objects in the plot window. The contour level polylines/polygons have ZLEVEL attributes.
The Export Contours command only exports the contour lines themselves. No colors, labels or other objects are exported. The contour level polylines/polygons have ZLEVEL attributes.
To export contours using the Export command:
- Uncheck the boxes next to your axes in the Contents window.
- Click File | Export.
- Give the file a name, change the Save as type to DXF, and click Save.
- In the Export Options dialog,
- On the Scaling page, set the Scaling source to Map.
- On the DXF Options page, select any options you wish.
- Click OK.

- Select the Contours layer in the Contents window.
- Click Map Tools | Layer Tools | Export Contours.
