URGENT - exporting to DWG

Anonymous
Not applicable
Im having a bit of trouble with exporting my drawings to DWG for the engineer to work on.

In publisher iv set the output format to DWG.

When I publish this it gives me a folder with all my layout pages and a folder with all the x-refs in it. When I open the pages in auto cad its just a layout page with the Xref in it. So I cant really grab parts of the "dwg" and work on it.. its seems like it’s a pdf just stuck on the layout page.
So I try open the x-ref on its own to work on it and still its just as if it’s a PDF inserted into the DWG..

Am I doing something wrong here? I know I can export DWG from the project map.. but with dozens of pages its kind of a crappy way to go about it. And then u don’t get all the title blocks etc.. included

Thanks a lot Erika and Djordie,
I'll try to do this, since there's nothing more I can do with the translator... neither with the engineers!
