      Hi Guys I am exporting Skp to Dwg. When I export the dwg it is broken into line segments taking so long to edit. My stuff is fairly organic in nature therefore lots of polygons. I am thinking there is no way to join the components or groups so they end up as groups or blocks in AutoCAD but thought I would ask the question anyway. If there is it will really improve my workflow.

      Cheers

        Not sure if this will help but if you have the full version of AutoCAD, AutoDesk has a free SKP importer in their AutoDesk Exchange App Store. Might be worth a try. Good luck πŸ˜„

          It all depends on the nature of your model and export. It is possible to preserve groups with a 3d export but if you are saying you can't easily make the groups then you're stuck.

            ACAD should recognize groups and components as blocks.

              If you export DWG as 2d then it's all in line bits on one layer.
              If you export DWG as 3d then Lines/PolyLines/Arcs/Circles etc, and layering are preserved...
              Is this your issue ?

                Thanks to all. Yes I think that may be the issue Tig. Will do some trials when I can.
