Do Not Export ArchiCad Lineweights

[Andy Thomson]

Under no circumstance or setting that I have tried, can I get this radio button to become ungreyed such that I can select it (except with an ancient translator, but I cannot reproduce the settings in AC11). I do not want to export ArchiCad lineweights.

Also, related - we have set up a DWG template for ArchiCad to correctly map pens to bylayer pen colours also - but this causes hard crashing of archicad 11 when using the publisher - every time. Anyone else experiencing this?

Lastly, cropped TB images/PDFs still export uncropped and with a border turned on - grrr.

Has anyone been able to turn OFF export Archicad lineweights? I am publishing layouts to DWG, with exported modelspace (cropped) as a single DWG...

Have you tried to disable the True line weight option -under the View menu- before exporting?

That's my guess, too.

Duh. You are right of course - I guess I had assumed that they had finally shuffled the old display option (that was actually an output option) from the MVO to the DOO (Display Only Options) because that was what it was supposed to be - SCREEN ONLY!!

So, by turning off the True Lineweight DOO! Doh! (alt+6) - DWG export option for Do Not Export ArchiCad Lineweights becomes ungreyed and selectable.

Whose idea was that? Should not that radio-button action trigger the display option off! Argghh! This program.

You want it functional AND logical? Geez, you'd think you paid a lot for this software or something.

This happened to me althought only once.
The only way I could solve it was to open a new file and import the whole project. Make sure you can tick/untick the import archicad lineweights check box in the translator before importing the file.
