AC10 export to DWG - Some layers are turned off

Anonymous — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 10:01:34 GMT

I tried exporting layouts to dwg format and I am experiencing something strange when I try opening the files I exported.

When I view the dwg files in AutoCAD, there are certain layers that are present but are turned off (eg. layers pertaining to walls and elevation/section markers). These items are visible in ArchiCAD at the point of being exported.

These lines are present in the dwg file, just that they are being turned off. I could always open the file in AutoCAD, turn the layers back on and save them, but imagine having to do this step for 100s of files - it would not be feasible at all.

Does anyone know what the possible cause of this occurrence can be? Thanks!

Same problem i got, i don't know the cause of this. Missing or layers where turned off when translated to autocad but when translated to pdf it looks good. It's a hassle when editing it again in autocad. Is this a bug or we just missed something? Please help. Thanks.

It is the notorious WIPEOUT object in Autocad!

90% ot Autocad users have never heard of it, but Graphisoft decided to include it in the dwg export!

It was repaired in AC 10 but reappeared in 11 again! Sorry, no working solution to the problem! This made get bac to AC10!
