Unable to merge views using DWGEcportOptions

I am trying to export all the active views in a sheet to a single dwg file. I have even set the merge option to true but still it doesn't merge it for me and export the views to different dwg files. it view returns me true once I set it equal to true but still it doesn't merge the views. any help will be appreciated. My code is as below:

 

import clr
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from System.Collections.Generic import List

doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document

file_path = doc.PathName
export_folder = file_path[:file_path.rfind("\\")]

# Get the active sheet
active_sheet = doc.ActiveView
views_on_sheet = active_sheet.GetAllPlacedViews()

view_list = []
for view_id in views_on_sheet:
    view_list.append(view_id)
   
view_export_options = DB.DWGExportOptions()
view_export_options.MergedViews = True
   
output_file_path = "test.dwg"

views_collection = List[DB.ElementId](view_list)

doc.Export(export_folder, output_file_path, views_collection, view_export_options)

Does it work for you manually in the end user interface? What options are you using there? Maybe there is something more that needs to be added?

I can do it manually in the end-user interface. But it doesn't preserve the shared coordinates. Even I select the option in the settings. That's why I tried to do it using the api.
