Ultra-thin outline

Hi, I often import the outline of the board into dxf to create models, but because all the lines of the outlines have a width, they are exported as two thin lines. This creates great difficulties when modeling the board. I did not find a method to combat this in the program, so before I request such an opportunity to create a super-thin outline, tell me if there is another way to export sketches to dxf or dwg with one line?

Yes, this is how to do it… Screenshot below…

Did you emphasize the wrong option in the dialog screenshot?

Nope… Just as I posted…

Thank you very much BlackCoffee, this was really what I needed! I would never have guessed that this parameter is responsible for this!

I can’t quickly find a Gitlab issue for behavior/label, but it definitely seems like a bug to me that the label for the checkbox affects much more than text. Seems like either the checkbox label is misleading or the underlying behavior is wrong.

If someone is motivated to make a bug report with examples (easiest is KiCad > About KiCad > Report a bug), please consider linking it back to this thread for others to see and “thumbs up”.
