Summary: I wish to export to AUTOCAD like you publish a set of dwgs

Description: Would be nice to have a command that exoprts more than one dwg @ a time. right now you have to open each dwg select exoprt then choose where to save it. If there was anyway we can like publishing you could select all the dwgs you need & say export to AUTOCAD like with the publish to plotter or dwf where the save path is built into the project navigator & the files are opened & exported to there.

How used: It is used @ our company frequently for consultants that are not up to speed on CADD to bind & save dwgs for them. but you have to open each dwg. then export to AUTOCAD & select where you want the new dwg.

Feature Affinity: export &?or publish

Ummm... eTransmit already does this - unless you don't like the results for some reason of the dwgs from eTransmit. When eTransmitting, in the options you can choose to save the drawings as AutoCAD with exploded AEC objects which is essentially the same thing that export to AutoCAD does.
