Does the file have an image in it? Even in a layer that is turned off? I have found this will stop a DWG translation. If so,

Save the file
Delete the image
Publish to DWG
Close file and DO NOT SAVE
Reopen saved file.

I tried turning on all layers, but it didn't help.
And there are no picture files.

Thanks anyway.

By the way I work in AC10 and when I save my project in AC9 pln file,
then I can translate it in to DWG.

Just so you are aware you posted your inquiry in the wrong section of the user forum. This section is designed for suggested improvements to Archicad and not intended for problems you are having. I have been publishing to DWG in 10 without incident. Try a different translator or change some of the settings in the translator. The "special built in translator" seems to work fine, but I usually restrict the translation to visible layers only to help keep clutter out of the consultants files.
