I'm looking for some info on Exporting to DWG. Specifically regarding New, Existing, Demo.
I found this thread:
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=2327&highlight=export+demo
but no real resolution:
My approach has been, if necessary, to export existing, demo and new work separately, from separate formatted views and rejoin them in AutoCAD or Microstation afterward.
You don't have phase aware control over objects when you export so walls are going on A-wall whether it is existing or new...true in 5.0 and 5.1, I've not observed any change in this with 6.0 so I'm assuming it remains true.
I should probably mention that we have to approach it this way because our engineers have expectations regarding where stuff will be and we are attempting to minimize confusion by abiding by their wishes.
It's a relatively simple task to reference the discreet phases of work together and each export can have it's own criteria for layer and color. Just set up different export rules for each.I also don't see anything about it in 7.0
Anybody know of anything new, or is this something I should drop into the WishList?
