I am having issues with exporting plan sets to DWG or DXF. I am using DWG TruView to view it and it just doesn't look nearly complete to me. Also, any dimensioning I try to do in the viewer comes up with inches, not feet and inches.

I really need to get this right for the customer I am working for.

I tried uploading the DWG file, but that isn't permitted here. If anyone is interested in taking a look at it I would gladly e mail it.

If you haven't already done so, please send us a ticket and we can look at it further.

This may sound stupid, but open a new blank softplan drawing in your project, and import the DWG into that to view it.

I tried your suggestion Keith, but it only exports a part of the plan set. I created a ticket and tech support's reply was that they didn't have an answer. It is something to do with plan sets. I ended up using multi drawings and exporting those 1 page at a time. That worked fine.

Tech support replied back again and said that the issue happened because of the commas in the plan set titles. They have forwarded the issue to development.
