Export Linked DWG's in 9

[Anonymous]

Is there any setting to control whether linked DWG files are exported along with a view? We are trying to export some views in V9 to DWG that contain DWG links and it isn't exporting the linked files. I don't recall having this problem in 8.1.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,
Your original post is a bit old, but did you ever find a solution to this. I need the exact same thing to happen:

Export a sheet to dwg that is displaying a linked dwg. As of now, when I export to dwg, pretty much the only thing I see are elements created in revit and none of the original data from the linked dwg.

Appreciate any help - thanks

I assume you have AutoCAD since you are linking a dwg file into Revit, so
why not open it in CAD and insert it in? I don't know what you would do if
you don't have CAD though.

there are definately problems with this in 9.0. However I think it has to do with crop regions, if I turn off the crop region and export I get the dwg xref'd into the right location. Note another way to do this is disconnect from the network so revit doesn't find the actual dwg, then it will make its own block out of what it has loaded into memory.
