Description

Hi
I need to prepare some empty layers that will be exported to DXF together with the rest of the model. Is there a way to create empty layers with names that will just be there when imported to ex. LibraCAD ,eventually with more settings like font size etc. ?

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the DXF export implementation and checking how layers are currently derived from model geometry. Done means exported DXF files preserve explicitly created empty layer names and support any agreed layer settings, with coverage for the resulting import behavior.
