This is a weird one I am working on a large drawing (convention center). I imported the building DWG and all the layers (I work in layers not classes)are there and everything is scaled correctly and can be turned on and off. So I add all my design layers for lighting audio , scenic, ect and save my drawing When it is exported back to DWG all of the layers are converted to 1 layer and the other layers are listed as 0, chair-cloth, chair metal, Cloth, Defpoints, Dimension, Building Name (original file), Loci and none I have tried various combinations of setting to no avail I back saved the file to 2013 and exported and all was as it should be What am I missing here?

I do a lot of renderings With spotlight 2012 and would like to use 2 monitors as well Thanks Bob

Its time for me to address an ongoing issue. When exporting DWG files Staging does not export. Stairs and all other objects I use in spotlight seem to export fine I was hoping spa 1 for 2012 would fix this but it has not Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks Bob

I am having trouble with DWG conversions for use in autocad My drawings export correctly in all ways except the stages created in Spotlight disappear Drape, stairs , projection all convert correctly.Stages do not. I have tried converting the stage s to symbols but that does not help What am I doing wrong? Thanks Bob
