if you are not thinking of editing that in Autocad , try while saving to .dwg to use "as out put" translator , and for sure check the scale...some might line types are affected by scale .

i am not an Autocad user but i think this might work, try it ,waiting for ur feed back , you don't want an answer only from me

I did try all the formats of saving to dwg and the result is the same.I ve also tried to change all the settings of the output format and again the same .What Im trying to do now is work the other way around.Import the things i need from autocad to archicad and work in archicad.Do it the opposite way may work but that still doesnt solve th eproblem.Thanx anyway for your advice.

Try this:
Inside the section/elevation settings in ArchiCAD disable the option "fill uncut surfaces with..." (under model effects) and publish again the section as DWG.
