multiple files to DWG format not an option in Publisher

I used to be able to publish a dwg from publisher using the single file option under the settings.  Now the only options I have are BIMx and PDF.  Do I really need to save each file separately from the view map?  Or is there a way for BIMx to be used by collaborators who need DWG format?  I've looked at all the answers for this and none of them work anymore.  The option seems to have been removed from publisher.

What version?  28?

 

DWG and all other formats are still there.  But you can only set the root folder of a set of drawings (cloned or otherwise) to a format that all included drawings/schedules can use.  For example, if a folder has only floor plans, then clicking the folder, you'll find DWG and everything else under Format.  But if it contains a Schedule, that can't export as a DWG, and so you won't see DWG as an available export option...for the folder... you'll see PDF, DWF whatever.  In that case you have to shift click to select just the drawings and can then select DWG for them.  Not sure if this makes sense without screenshots?

 

Maybe you can give a screenshot of where you have the problem.
