Anonymous

I use to export archicad to acad without any problem, now in Ac11 i have a lot of problems. Simply, lines that must exist are somehow hidden behind nothing.

When i export to dwg, all lines are present but not visible, u can see that in pictures. Is there something that i must do or what ?

Sorry, Necko, no way to do it properly! That is why I am still on AC10! Everyone comes to this problem sooner or later:

http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=19626&highlight=

It is the uncompletely developed "wipeout" oblect which exists in Autocad and for some stupid reason AC decided to use!

A workaround: Save the dwg! Open it in AC, select all blank fills and delete them! Resave the dwg!
kliment -- did you ever try my suggestion to Publish to DWG with a MVO setting the Fill Background to "Transparent"? Tom Waltz suggested the same thing here and it seems to have worked.

I did like to export to dwg with the wipeout.
When I translate to autocad 2005 from archicad 12, all the elements come out transparent. I have set the model view to show window background color. I have experimented with several translator methods for fills with no sucess. In 11, I could translate drawings to autocad in wich elements with window background color came out with "wipeout out" fill hiding elements underneath. Could somebody guide me to achieve this on 12?

I kept experimenting with translation methods.
Currently some elements seem to come transparent on model space but fill with window background on paper space. (theres a visual clue) Ill keep experimenting...
