If you have placed a drawing, then it will be one single element.

However, if you want the individual lines, you can 'explode' the drawing.

I am not sure from your post what you are trying to do.

 

I suggest if English is not your native language, type the question in your language and use Google Translate or similar to translate it.

Only post the English translation here in the forum.

 

Also screen shot images can be a great way to explain what you are trying to do as well.

 

Archicad is not meant as at 2D drafting program.

You should be modelling with 3D elements (walls, slabs, etc.) and the 2D drawing is a by-product of the 3D model.
