Hi Donna,

There isn't a direct setting in the CAD Export tool which will take in a filter string, but a previous forum post has shared a method for getting a specific set of filtered rays exported with your CAD file -- you can find that post here.

 

The basic idea is that you can create a new Source File of just the filtered rays of interest. Once that Source File is generated, you can replace your existing sources with the Source File, define your Layout Rays value as desired, and the exported CAD file will retain your filtered subset of rays.

 

Please let us know if you have any more questions!
