DWG publishing from Layout Book vs. Project Map or View Map

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I publish drawing from my project map or view map to DWG, it keeps all the measurements accurate in autocad, no matter what scale I have the drawing as in archicad. However, when I publish a drawing from my layout book, and open it in autocad, it keeps the scale of the layout book, 1/4"=1, or whatever it may be.

Is there a way to publish from the layout book, a drawing scaled at say 1/4"=1', into a dwg file, then open it in autocad, and have its measurements be 1=1, as they are with the published dwg's from the view map and project map?

thanks for the help!

Actually all of the ArchiCAD drawing entities are translated as 1:1 when going to AutoCAD. When you publish/save from the Layout to DWG the entities drawn in the ArchiCAD Layout should be in AutoCAD's Paperspace or Layout window, and the view(s)/drawing(s) placed on the ArchiCAD Layout should be Viewports into the Modelspace in AutoCAD.
