Make the grouped objects into a library part. It will convert to a block.

Thanx Djordje
Although it would be very convenient if there was an option in the translator to automatic do this,at least for 2D objects(lines, etc)

AFAIK AutoCAD does not have Groups? So there is no corresponding entity, except the library part.

If you mean several ArchiCAD objects group together transformed in ONE block AutoCAD, I think that the good way to do that is to Create One Object ArchiCAD which need to be as the block you want in AutoCAD.

No i don't mean all the grouped objects to ONE block but it's group to a single block
If you turn a section/elevation from a model to a drawing all the libraries parts are turned to lines&arcs. If you save this S/E>drawing to a dwg the libraries part will be saved as lines and not as block
So ,if you have 5 different windows you can group the lines of each window ,that makes 5 different group,What i want in the DWG is to have 5 different block.
Hope i made my self clear
Thanx for your patient

Good night miker

Same problem, for me you need to transform your lines in object in your Elevation to get back your elements in block in AutoCAD.
