Hi guys, 

I have drawn some stuff in auto cad 2019 and not need to save them and then import them into rd works. I was told what file to save them in Friday but have annoyingly forgotten. Can somebody message me a basic step by step guide as I am technologically not very good,

 thank you.

You need to export in .DXF format for the laser to read, I think .dxf
(R14) is the preferred version if it offers you several choices but not
100% sure. As to how you get autocad 2019 to output that I don't know
but file/save-as or file/export would be the first places I'd look
