Pretty excited by the November update that's coming, and @keqingsong just did a nice preview of what's to expect in a blog post here. Let us know what you think!

Any chance dwg export will be fixed?

Hi Timm,

Can you provide some more detail on what issue(s) around dwg export are you referring to? Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

Thanks,

Chris

I believe what he is talking about is the ability to export actual AutoCAD geometry to model space instead of the paper space data that we get now.

Like @kellings mentioned. if you export to dwg other software can't read it.

These threads talk about it. I belive it is a known problem.

Hi Timm -

For this release we haven't made any changes to DWG output. Currently, exporting a DWG from drawings creates a document that can be opened in paper space in AutoCAD.

Could you tell me about what you'd like to do with the DWG that you're unable to currently?

Thanks,

Scott

Like it says in some of the posts. you can't give the dwg files to machine shops because they can't open them with the tools they have. I believe they don't open well in anything other program except AutoCAD, a lot of places don't have aCAD.

As a result I only use the PDF output, but it would be nice to be able to give dwg.
