The dialog contains these features:

Select File button	allows you to select the DXF file to be written
Export Sample Points checkbox	checking this will write the Sample locations into the DXF file.
Export Sample Areas checkbox	checking this will write the Sample Area outlines into the DXF file.
Export Map checkbox	checking this will write the Map lines into the DXF file.
Export Sample Points As radio button	If you choose to write Sample Points into the DXF file, they will be written either as Polylines with a set shape or as Insert objects. If exporting as Polylines, you must specify the Size (in Map Units) of the Polylines. The Polylines that are written look like boxes with an X through them. Insert objects are predefined objects in your CAD system that can be inserted into your map. You must tell VSP the name of your Insert Object; VSP does not create them for you.
Scale	If you want to change the size of your current project map, enter a number other than 1. Entering a 2 would take your current map and put it at twice its size into the DXF map file.
