Overlapping drawings

Hello! I have an issue with exporting (Publishing) Archicad drawings and merging them into a single DWG file. When I export the project from archicad to dwg all of the drawings get overlapped in Model Space (dwg) and it's impossible to separate them. Layouts (in dwg) are the same as well, all of the drawings are stacked on top of each other on the first layout, while others remain empty.  I have been using method from this tutorial for exporting and merging  pln to dwg  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEUuTcTIHb4 and it usually works for me, and also works on other PLN files.. I assume there's an issue or a wrong setting/configuration within the file itself, and not the translator settings. 

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, 

From the tutorial you were using: are you sure you don't have this option checked? You do not need to have it checked if you want individual files.

In case of pdfs, this would merge the layouts into one pdf file. Or you can choose to have each layer as a separate file.

Hi. Thanks but we are talking here about overlapping drawings in MODEL space inside dwgs after publishing or saving them from Archicad. 

 

Unfortunately I didn't. I unchecked the "Merge to one file" box, an proceeded to export multiple dwg files, that I later on manually combined into one single file... 😔
