Vector images are terrific, resolution independent, clear - crisp, etc. However it has not been my experience to have an automatic vector format from ArchiCAD. When I did want to mess with a vector, I believe the only way was to export a very large bitmap and use Adobe Streamline or similar program - Adobe Illustrator, etc.

Since the Adobe products were mentioned, it bears noting that Adobe Acrobat presents a number of features useful with Archicad u3D exports from the 3D window to Acrobat pages.
The attached shows a rendering of an arbor IN a PDF document that can be rendered in a range of interesting ways and remains a navigable model in Adobe Reader. Lighting changes, section cuts, rendering methods ALL can be controlled by the viewer. So if you want your stuff to look more like SketchUp - this is it - any anyone can see it and navigate it.
Also, at any time, you can terminate the 3D rotational aspect and you might even get your vectors back.
yee ha!

Does it? An editable eps file, something you can work with in Adobe Illustrator? Wire frame, hidden line and shaded render? I don't remember it working that smoothly..
The 2D lines option gives you a new .pln file with just that linework flattened. As with any .pln, you could export it as EPS back then, now you'll have to use the Print as postscript option on the Mac.
As I recall, this feature was at least available from Archicad 4, perhaps even further back. Then it was the only way you could edit a hidden lines perspective, a necessary evil at that time, when you could not copy and paste from the 3D window. I'm surprised you haven't seen it.
Today it's almost obsolete (se Dwight's post) , but perhaps useful in special cases.

Edited:
Correction to the 2DL alternative. If you use the Internal Engine i n the 3D window, it will allow you to save flattened shaded views as well, not only lines. I had forgotten that.
