Auto Line and Fill Consolidation

Hey all,

Is there a way to have make the DWG exporter to automatically do fill and line consolidation when I export the drawings?

I couldn't find any settings for this, but this would be really helpful because how I know how to do the consolidation, I have to export to DWG then open each of the DWG files and select the fill and line consolidation options.

I wish there was a better way. Does anyone know of one?

No, does not exist such a feature. One of the reason - because when you export your drawings into DWG, in ArchiCAD they are represented as elements, not fills and lines (floor plans, sections/elevations). To make consolidation - it's necessary to explode everything into 2D primitives first and after apply consolidation.

If such a process would happen during DWG export - somewhere on the background - that probably would be nice. Make a wish about it.
