separate layers from items in one object? Possible?

Hi,

Is there a way to get zone_nr and zone_name to get different layers when the zone stamp is exported to acad? Like windows and doors can get their own layers...

Unfortunately, not possible.
Maybe you could set different pens or text sizes for them so in AutoCAD it is easy to select them separately and put them on separate layers there.
You can make this a wish if you wish.

I might make a wish...it's about the zone stamp information.
I wish everyone a wishful week-end.

A traditional workaround is to use the zone as a drawing, model and information element (2D and 3D zone diagrams, naming, numbering, schedules, calculations), but for annotation purposes use fairly simple text objects that read and display zone number and zone name, each in its own layer.
