Are you opening the dwg that it creates? Are all the AutoCAD layers on and thawed? Any error messages when you export? Are you using the Map command _mapexportcurrentmaptodwg or the Civ3D command to export, there's a different.

Hi Murph
I have basically the same problem.
My data source is FDO (SQL Server) and need export a partial view of the drawing but in *.dwg format and the object data. I tried with "maptoacad" and do not work because the objects become simple entities without internal information. I was too tried the command"mapexportcurrentmaptodwg" and then the pc do not let me work, becomes so slow.
Please, if you know how do that help me.

You will need to bulk copy to a new SDF file then mapimport that SDF file and create object data on the import.
To create a new blank SDF file from the map task pane click on the map Explorer tab, Click on Schema button at the top, and select create SDF schema. Follow the promts in the dialog and place the sdf where you want. After you create the SDF file data connect to it but do not click "Add To MAP".
Then back in the map task pane on the "Display Manager" tab click on the data button and select bulk copy. select your SQL file on the left and the SDF file on the right side. Also click on the data attributes you want to copy to the SDF.
Copy the data and wait a few minutes(depending on size and number of attributes. Once it copies to the sdf unconnect the SDF file and use the mapimport command to import it as auocad enitites.
