[VW 2014 export DWG problems]

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?

[Staging does not export]

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

[DWG Conversion]

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
