Export DWG: Not exported classes DO export from Sheet layers!!

[Ramon PG]

The VW manual says: "However, if invisible classes contain private information or if the size of the exported file needs to be reduced, select Not Exported to delete these invisible objects."

I find that classes set not to export do export when you export from a Sheet Layer. This is a very importan issue. I used the Sheet Layer thinking it was the final output i wanted my client to see.

Double check before sending stuff.

That's a good reminder. For those that don't have ACAD to check their output, I think the free Autodesk DWF Composer has a DWG Viewer. If someone knows for sure it would be good to verify.

Though I can certainly understand why you would want to export sheets, in order to hopefully maintain simplicity, I try to just export specific items from design layers to model view. The only sheet item I export is my TB and let the engineers put them together.

Sorry, apparently only the DWF Viewer is free. The DWF Composer which contains the DWG Viewer you have to pay for.
