Hi Ahmed,

1 In the DWG Translator settings in Archicad, you have to set what length the Drawing Unit in the DWG matches. Up here, it's usually 1 meter or 1 millimeter, but it depends on what the Autocad user wants.

2 In the Open Options of the DWG Translator settings, select Translate AutoCAD Blocks as: 2D Elements or Grouped 2D Elements.
