    Hello,

     

    did anyone find a solution for this? It's already logged with development from August 2013 but still no solution.

    Hi, All

    It seems many users are blocked by the exporting issue. Regarding the data attached in previous post, there is a solution to address the issue. But please pay attention, below change on exporting setting will impact all spline objects, it will replace spline with polylines.  We can't guarantee the results for any cases. Please try belows only when you face exporting issues.

     

    The way to

    • Click option when export AutoCAD dwg file
    • Click next until you see "save configuration" button
    • Select folder and name the file, exit the exporting.
    • Save a configuration file.jpg
    • Open the configuration file by notepad, find the line " REPLACE SPLINE=NO", change the NO with YES, save the file.

     

    • Repeat the exporting and click option, but this time load the configuration file you have modified.

    load the configuration file.jpg

     

      Save exported AutoCAD DWG file, and check the result.

     

     

    If you still can't solve the issue after changing, please send your dataset to us, it will be very helpful for development team to get the final solution.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    I works!

     

    I wish someone told me this half year ago... I was looking for that "replace splines" option everywhere but in that location.

     

    Thanks.
