Export from Layout to DWG

Hi all, a few things on this topic. A bug was introduced with 2018 with multi-line text and tables so it is a bit different than the Model Space / Paper Space discussion described in that thread.

Tables:
If the table is exploded before the export the text and format of the table will be closer to what it was in LayOut.

Multi-line Text:
This one will export large as we do not have a way to explode it to single line text, but once in Acad or other, selecting the text one can edit the height.

If your colleague is only seeing text and png files, make sure that your SketchUp model viewports are Vector or Hybrid rendered. We did add a option to the export dialog to ‘Export raster rendered SketchUp models as Hybrid rendered’.

Hope this helps
