Newbie w/ module export question

Can I "saveas" a file with modules attatched and get it to maintain the modules as xref's in AutoCAD? If so, how?:?:

I am not sure exactly what you mean but you can certainly save modules as .dwg files and then xref them into AutoCAD. If you set up your translator right it will even be 3D in AutoCAD. You can tweak it in AutoCAD then open it again in ArchiCAD and save it as a module again if you like. You will need the correct IFC settings for AutoCAD and ArchiCAD so you can import 3D things from ArchiCAD. What AutoCAD are you using?

You want to convert the modules automatically to Xrefs?

Very interesting idea; however, I don't think it is possible automatically.

Did not try - so ... maybe someone did?
