Hi! When I export a drawing from Layout as DWG file, some unwanted text appears across the drawing in AutoCAD. I use the AutoCAD web browser as I do not have AutoCAD.
Here’s the original Layout drawing:
Your LayOut viewport uses Raster or Hybrid rendering so what you get into AutoCad is a raster image placed inside your CAD file. To get editable AutoCad objects you have to use Vector rendering. I think the display of linked file names is an AutoCad setting.
Thank you Anssi. Unfortunately I don’t have AutoCad so I’m unable to adjust settings or edit dwg files before I send them to anyone else. What I end up sending to the Engineer looks unprofessional and they get frustrated with me, because they have to tidy up my drawings before they can use them.
It appears to just be a missing reference link. AutoCAD makes it nice and clear by running that large text across the screen don’t they? If the other suggestions haven’t worked for you, try going to File/Document Setup/References and then purge anything that you may have deleted previously. See example:
Looking at it another time it looks that you have used Hybrid rendering. That will put a raster image of your model behind the lines in the CAD file. In the screenshot display of raster images is probably turned off in AutoCad. When communicating with engineers, Vector rendering is the way to go.
