DWG Export - Layer conversion - PEN-to-LAYER method do not work with door/window markers, dimensions

Anonymous
Not applicable
Dear folks,

today I found that the Layer conversion method - PEN-to-LAYER method do not work with door/window markers, dimensions-lines anymore??

Is this a new broken thing in the DWG-Export? Do anyone know something about this new behavior?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards from Vienna,
Klaus

Could you provide info about the exact Archicad version you are using?
Some screenshots would also be helpful, maybe a screenshot of your relevant DWG Translator settings, how those elements look in Archicad, and how they look in the exported DWG file.

Dear Klaus,

Thank you very much for your question!

As Laszlo mentioned, we will need more information to be able to identify where the problem is. As far as I know, the markers are usually exported as blocks along with windows/doors, maybe this is where the problem is?

I recommend trying the following option: under Save option of the given DWG translator, please set Explode complex ARCHICAD Elements for Saving Floor Plan section.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
Minh
