LO 2018 - exporting to .dwg becomes image file
-
When I export a LayOut file to a .dwg file extension choice, it ends up as a .png file. Actually, a separate .png file for each LO viewport is generated.
-
Be sure to change your Layout 'viewport' from raster to vector before you export to DWG. This will solve your issue.

OK - Thanks.
DISCOVERED: If I leave LO's VP's as raster, the export process generates a .dwg file PLUS a folder containing the png image files. When the .dwg file is opened with AutoCAD, it xrefs the images - but you can freeze the images layer to have a wireframe visual style, if desired.
