Comments

• THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR
  CATIA.
  
   JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVLOPMENT REQUEST:
  THE USER SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE NAME OF THE SHEETS WHEN
  EXPORTING TO DXF. THAT WILL AVOID THE PROBLEM.
  THIS FUNCTIONNALITY IS ALREADY BEING DEVELOPPED AND WILL BE
  AVAILABLE WITH THE CATIA V5R9 RELEASE.
  
   ANSWER AND POSSIBLE BY-PASS:
  THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THAT THE FIRST SHEET WAS EMPTY BUT BECAUSE
  THE SECOND ONE CONTAINS A 'STAR' CHARACTER WHICH IS FORBIDDEN
  FOR A NAME BY WINDOWS NT. CATIA TAKES THE NAME OF THE SHEET
  AS THE NAME FOR THE DXF FILE AND SINCE THE SHEET CONTAINS A
  'STAT' CHARACTER, THE NAME OF THE FILE CONTAINS A STAR, WHICH
  IS NOT ALLOWED BY WINDOWS NT.
  BY-PASS : CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SECOND SHEET AND DO NOT USE
  ANY OF THOSE CHARACTERS:
