dwg drawings in SE 2020

[frankie973111]

It concerns dwg drawings.
I started working in Archicad Start Edition 2020. Before that I worked in SE 2016.
In files from SE 2016 opened in SE 2020 you can insert dwg files as drawings but when you try to explode them they disappear
because they have a different reconstruction definition (I think), and this function is not available in SE.

It is very annoying.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Operating system used: Windows SE 2020

I don' t have SE so can't say what it foes or doesn't do.

Are you saying that an SE2016 file opened in SE2016 will explode a DWG just fine.

But the same thing does not happen in SE2020?

I don't think that specific feature would have been removed or changed.

When I explode a DWG, I am asked if I want to explode into a single layer or keep the original layers.

Could it be that those layer/s are turned off?

This issue is specific to SE 2020,

in this version the renovation status has been changed and when working
with SE 2016 files, after inserting dwg drawings
and trying to explode them they disappear because they have a different renovation status by default.

The question is whether it is possible to change the renovation status in this version of Archicad SE, even though the renovation option is not available in SE.

I don't has SE version so I am not sure if I can help.

Sounds like a question for your local support.

I would assume if SE does not have Renovation filters, then when you place a drawing it would not have any particular renovation status.

I did find a post that seems to confirm that in the full version, DWGs explode with a 'New' renovation status.

But if you have no control of renovation filters and this is what is happening in SE version, then I am not sure what you can do about it.
