In the Import/ Export settings dialog box I find it very difficult to figure out which category to go to when specify a layer name to export to. I want the toilet partitions to export to the A-FLOR-TPTN layer. So which category do I change? I would think there would be a category for toilet partitions', why not, there is everything else under the sun for a category!
So I went to 'Specialty Equipment', and changed the projection layer name to A-FLOR-TPTN. Great it worked, but it also change a lot of other thing to that layer. Back to the drawing board.

I guess the question is: How can I specify a specific category for the toilet partitions so I can go to the Import/ Export dialog and get just the toilet partitions to export to the correct layer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Go into your toilet partitions family, set all the needed object to a sub-category of specialty equipment.
Then when you export you will see that category under the export DB, set it to whatever layer your want

Still doesn't work the way I wanted it to. I went into the toilet partition family and set all objects to the toilet partition sub-category of specialty equipment. After exporting the partitions are now a block on the E-EQIIP layer (the layer the main specialty equipment category should export to). But when I explode the block the lines are on A-FLOR-TPTN. Is this what I should expect or can I get the block to export on A-FLOR-TPTN?
