    The self paced-learning is a good place to pick up on this sort of thing and it's free. There is more than one way export a dxf. It should not matter for Xometry since dxf is the same file format for all.

    For STEP: Right click on the part in the parts list of the part studio and select export. Xometry and most other places usually want step, not dxf. DXF is 2d. STEP is 3d.

    DXF export will not show up this way. It shows up when exporting a 2d drawing, not a 3d model.
