DWG export problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
In Archicad I have some group elements. When I export it to dwg the group explode to single elements.
How can I export ArchCAD groups to AutoCad Reference blocks?

Grouped / ungrouped settings will not be considered when exporting to DWG.

Nevertheless, If you want Blocks in AutoCAD from ArchiCAD elements, then you only have few options:
  • * Make a Simple object out of your Floor Plan viewpoint. (File/Libraries and Objects/Save Selection As...)

    * Make the Blocks out of windows, doors, or existing Objects.
Then In the Translator settings, you will be able to set it to convert the objects into Blocks (see image below)
