PM9 publish to Autocad

Hi everyone.

This my second try to post a message, the first one didn't work and I don't know why.

I am facing some problems on publish process from Plotmaker 9 to Autocad.

1) The translator, unlike if done from Archicad, does not recognize the layers "inside" an imported drawing from Archicad (e.g. a plan or section) and the result is a dwg file with unbecoming layer format.

If we configured to translate from archicad/plotmaker layer to a group of layers at the dwg file (like layer a, b, c...), we would get those layers empty and one or more groups of layers like "D18a, D18b...", "D19a, D19b..." - according the number of imported drawings at a especific layout.

2) The dwg file will treat each PM drawing as an insert of a block. And, due to the situation described above, with any of characteristics of color and linetype configured on the translator.

Can anyone help me solve these subjects?

Thank everyone.
