export entire face to dxf

I can export a face to dxf if all the geometry is on the same plane. I designed a simple say paddle that has 8 through holes and 2 that go down a .25 inch. I can export this fine. when I put a rectangle around the holes and remove a 10th of an inch of material and try and export the face it just gives me the outer profile and the rectangle. if I export to solidworks and export dxf from there its all there but that would mean that I have to have solidworks to export all the geometry needed from the part. I typically design from the top plane. Is there any way to select and export all the geometry from the top view for cnc

Best solution in Onshape would be to project the outlines you want onto a sketch, most likely on the top face using the "use" tool and export the sketch as a dxf.

How do I do it!!!???
However if you have more than one, as I do, then you have to export them all and line them up in some other CAD software.
OH MY! Heaven forbid I should need to rely on other CAD software!
