The name of dxf file created will have the extension of the original draft, is it possible to exclude the extension?

How to change '000208_A_CustomString_dft.dxf' to '000208_A_CustomString.dxf'.

The extension of the SE file used to create the translated file is hardcoded in the translated filename. There is no setting to remove it. This is in part because didn’t want to further complicate SEEC_Save_Translation. Also there can be 2D and 3D SE datasets in an Item Revision and didn’t want any conflict in output such as DXF for flat and draft.

This is working as designed.
