Saving a file as a DWG to be opened in Archicad - tips please

[Viper x]

Please, is there any tricks, tips for preparing a VW file so it can be opened correctly in Archicad ?

I am have problems getting VW drawings opened properly in Archicad.

I am using VW 10.1 > Export as DWG > emailing the DWG to a client > when they open it in Archicad there is text missing and problems with line weights etc.

I am not checking the " map to line weights " box when I create the DWG as the client has a recent version of Archicad.

I am I going through the right process ?

thanks Viper x

Interacting with Archicad is just plain difficult. You will have to be creative and work with your Archicad partner to work around these problems. Converting groups and symbols to ordinary entities may help some.
