How to export multiple views/drawings from Archicad to Autocad DWG (fast!)

In this video, we show how to quickly and easily export your Archicad drawings to Autocad DWG. We are using the translator function for dwg exporting. You can use the procedure to get dwg from either views, layouts or worksheets. I posted a video before about how to export separate views into dwg:

This video answers a request from a viewer about how to export multiple drawings at once.

Thank you for the quick and easy video. By the way, if I export drawings from Archicad Worksheets to Autocad, does it also export their assigned layers?

Hello Nikola, Thanks for the video. I would like to share my practices about exporting dwg from Archicad and have some questions to you with your permission
. 
1- At first, I wonder what's the difference with exporting file from "publisher" and directly "save as" from layout master. Why and when we need to use publisher instead of quickly make "save as".

2- I don't need to make "explode" while exporting just one file from "project map" or "view map" (for example ground floor plan). But if I export file from layout, Drawings export as block and I need to explode all of them one by one. Do you also experience this problem? Besides, I can't find any way to show objects as blocks after exporting dwg and open them at autocad. Again, if I export just single drawing from view map with using "save as" function, it's ok. But when I export multiple drawings from "layout", I need to explode drawings first and after exploding them, objects shown as separate lines, not as blocks.


3- Autocad files are too heavy even I work on just a small house projects that includes 3 plans 4 elevations 3 sections etc. I believe that I set up all things correctly from dwg translation on archicad. For example, "save zones as stamp only", "save layout to model space". I also close the layers of trees on plans and add 2d objects instead. But I could never solve this issue brother.

4- I have problems with fonts as well while exporting to dwg. Autocad don't find out the fonts that I work with in archicad even the font located in autocad text styles. Do you ever realize that before?

I hope I could explain myself :) I look forward to your reply.
All the best.
