    When exporting to a CAD format or DWF, you can specify a name or prefix for the exported files. In the Export CAD Formats dialog, for Naming, use one of the following options to name the exported files:

    • Automatic - Long (Specify prefix). Manually specify a prefix in the File name/prefix text box, or accept the default, which uses the format:

      Vasari Sheet/View: Project Name-View Type-View Name

    • Automatic - Short. Vasari determines the name automatically and adds a prefix to the file name of the current view or multiple views and sheets. The format is:

      Vasari Sheet: Sheet Name or Vasari View: View Type-View Name

    • Manual (Specify file name).Manually specify the entire file name.

    When exporting multiple files, for File Name, enter a common prefix for the exported files. For example, if you are exporting the Level 1 floor plan and north elevation views to DWG files and you enter the prefix Country House, the resulting exported file names are Country House Elevation North.dwg and Country House Floor Plan Level 1.dwg.
