DXF export "jumbles" paperspace views incorrectly


Resolution: Do not use "DXF Export" file menu option for complex drawings with multiple paperspace layout views. Use "save as... DXF" menu command instead. "dxfout" command also works normally.



INFORMATION: Dxf EXPORT calls the WBLOCK function that creates dwg in model space
(ready to be inserted in every drawing). Workaround is to use "save as... DXF" menu command  instead. Note AutoCAD does not offer additional Export As DXF file option.

If I make the exportcommand, progeCAD scale the drawing wrong and the
entities move from layout to model space. But, if I make a SaveAs (in DXF
format) the drawing don't scale but the entities remain in Layout. 
The export command do wrong...
