AC27 - pubblishing in DWG - "merge into one file" option does not work

alemanda — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 22:07:24 GMT

I'm unable to create a working single DWG file when publishing into DWG.

I mean, the dwg file is created, the views are in the model space, but the layouts are empty.

Anyone is facing the same problem?

Is there any limitation for "merge into one file" option?

Any trick to solve it?

Below the settings I'm using with no success.

Operating system used: Windows 6020

Hi alemanda,

What does your Publication set look like ?

The problem may be there.

It's nothing special .. I mean other times (with previous versions) everything went smoothly ... in this case some layouts cointain 3D vectorial shaded views ... It also takes long time to create the single dwg files.

Hi alemanda,

I can see missing options on your translator save options, maybe the default Archicad DWG translators you use are corrupted ?

Hi,

When from the DWG publishing set you double click on an element, does the layout open an display all the drawings placed on it ?

Yes BrunoH,

I go to the DWG publishing set, double click on one of the layouts and archicad shows correctly the content.

Hi alemanda,

So I have tried some DWG publishing. I can nearly reproduce your result, the drawings are there on the layouts but empty so I try to force there update and they then were displayed as they should. But I don't know why this happened because it doesn't each time (with the same file and the same publication set) and it never happened with low file size created DWG (less than 5 Mo).
