Well 1st off I moved the thread to the SketchUp forum. To export SketchUp files to AutoCAD you will have to use the "Pro" version of SU. It is the only version that can export to other 3D files (ie... DWG). Now if you have the rpo version you do this through the export area. If you are using the Free Google version then download the 8 hour demo of the Pro version and use it only for exporting and nothing else. This way the 8 hour demo should last a while ;)

Hmmm...when was that change made? I've ported over drawings from one of the earlier freebie versions with no problem.

Alas you must be mistaken. That was the 1st option left out of the freebie version. No 3D export of any kind except to .kmz format (Google Earth). You also cannot export out to 2D CAD formats. Your only options for 2D export in the free version is raster. I've used SU since v2 and I am 100% certain on this as I have to use this way now since I no longer work at a place that uses SU. I am stuck using the free Google version :(
