Layout export dwg

Hello team McNeel,

With Rhino 8 development still underway, following what I consider a premature release. It would be extremely useful to add a function allowing you to export a layout to DWG.

For me, and certainly for many of us, it’s very important to be able to do this. It’s a real lack and an extreme waste of time. And time is money. And put end to end, on an entire design office, it can become colossal.

We use Rhino, but our architects, suppliers and subcontractors don’t. We need to be able to export a DWG of our drawing. And that’s without using a PDF or any other time-consuming and imprecise trick.

I know that you can save the Rhino file as a DWG and open it in Autocad, for example. But it’s far from compatible. Hidden objects are no longer hidden, perspective scales are wrong etc… What’s more, not everyone uses Autocad for DWGs. It’s far from being the solution.

We should propose a kind of Make2D for layout.
Please, it’s really necessary.

This is definitely on the list to be considered in a future Rhino.
RH-66820/Export-to-CAD-DWG-or-DXF

If there are any 3rd party developers out there, maybe you want to take a run at this as an add-on or utility.

Thank you for adding your vote.

Sincerely,

Agreed 100%.

Agreed 1000% because I tried to import Autocad 3D dwg to rhino then at least it’s working 3D model and Layout (Just had text problem)… so I tried to export Rhino 3D modeling file to dwg (Used 2007 solid or 2018 solid option) then it’s working but i can’t export layout to dwg so I need this function for coworking with Co-companies.
