Allegro PCB, export DXF, how to make ground voids convey?

Exporting layer 1 copper to DXF, I have several ground voids (it is an RF design) but they show up filled with copper in DXF.

    Dave, In allegro/Orcad 16.6 I can confirm that Exporting to DFX works as expected. I could export a Top copper layer with a copper pour and voids without issue.

    There are a few steps you have to go through to map layers etc. See pic below. It seems to work fine.
