I have a DXF file that is too large to be used "as is" in my Vectric CAM program VCarve Destop.
I opened it in DeltaCAD and began copying various portions of the original file into multiple layers.
I would now like to be able to save each individual layer to a separate DXF file. One at a time I have:
copied a section of the original to a "New" layer.
then "View" the new layer to verify the copy.
next I set the layer to "Make current".
next I tried "Save as" and also tried "Export"
However, after closing the original file, layers and all, whether I open or Import the "Saved" or "Exported" file, I find that the
entire file, "Default" and "Hand" and all Layers were saved.
I need to know how to save each of my newly created layers in separate DXF files.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

p.s. What is the "hand" layer?
