JASTON Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi. I'm using the point style editor to display my imported shp file points as blocks. However, when using the 'Save Current Map to AutoCAD' command and open the resulting dwg file, my blocks have been translated to simple geometry. For example, using a block that contains nothing more than a simple circle as a point style results in a dwg file that displays the block as a polygon. I need it to write the dwg file with the block. This was never an issue in Map3D 2011. Is there a setting that is causing this issue? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Are importing the shp file or using Data Connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph_map Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'll look and see if it happens to me as well, it might be a setting somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASTON Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 So here is what I have so far. Apparently the command 'MAPEXPORTCURRENTMAPTODWG' (from 2011) has been split up into two commands - the new command being 'MAPTOACAD'. The 'mapexport..' command will export to dwg, however it will not retain blocks used for point feature styles. 'Maptoacad' will open a wizard to take you on a merry three-part tour. At this point, if you have created a drawing template with your block (of the same name) it will show up at its original size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomK Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm currently having the same problem with map3d 2013. I have multiple circles with fill and when I save to autocad all I get are a few lines where the circles should be. I worked earlier in the day. Did I accidentally change a setting?
