Note

When you export a file, you save information, such as vertices, smoothed normals, UVs (texture coordinates), and texture maps. Some file formats have limitations. For example, DXF doesn't support smooth normals or UVs. If the file format doesn't support texture embedding, each texture map is written as a separate image at the same location specified for the mesh file. The names of the images will start with the name you specified for the mesh file and include the name of the material. If UV information can't be written, two texture maps are exported: one for the top part, and one for the bottom.
