How to export a dwg file without any attributes

[Anonymous]

Hello, is it possible to export my .dwg file without the deeper informations of my symbols and all other attributes?

I just want to share the file like a stupid drawing.

Many thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Forums

DWF, PDF, JPG, PNG.

Or send them a paper copy of your drawing

EXPLODE that will make your blocks lines and polylines and such

If your blocks have any attribute text you will need to reinput what the text says

PURGE will get rid of any unused items in  a drawing which will include blocks which are no longer present in the drawing

If you HAVE to share a DWG file, is your recipient OK with you sending them a totally destroyed file? You'd better ask if you are expecting payment for services in return for sharing, it's likely to get you in hot water.

Hello @Anonymous, 

To add you could try the suggestion made by Jason.Piercey made in this similar thread. 

You can also try using the following commands to help with what you're trying to accomplish. 

EXPORTLAYOUT > then explode all blocks. 

EXPLODE 

AUDIT 

Post back and tet me know if this helps.

Hello Sarah,

i've found an solution which is working well. I export the file to .pdf and get it back with "import pdf" in ACAD 2017

it works fine.

Thanks for your help.

With all the best from good old Germany

A bit late, but you could look at the wmfout and wmfin commands, the quality and results will depend on what is in your drawing, but it basically takes a picture, then you can bring it into another drawing as line work with text (and some of the text is also converted to lines), it also will need rescaling.
