Dimension lines exploded when exported

[Anonymous]

How can I publish layouts (PLOTMAKER) without getting the dimensions separated in lines and texts? This is the most comum problem dealing with contractors and other design offices...
I'm having to substitute the DWG files from PLOTMAKER for DWG files from ARCHICAD, using AUTOCAD... I hope there-s another alternative or solution...

If you are in PlotMaker, you do not have Dimensions anymore, they become lines and text. This is because there is no Dimension Tool in PM, so it breaks them up into its own entity types.
If you want to keep them that way you should Publish from ArchiCAD.

No other way, I am afraid, except double publishing; using Xrefs might help (easier to replace the Xrefs in the folder than to open the DWGs one by one).
