Creates a new DWG file with all AEC objects exploded.
Access Methods
Command entry: -exporttoautocad or aectoacad
Summary
You can create a new version of a drawing file with all proxy AEC objects
exploded into basic AutoCAD for Mac objects. The new version of the drawing
loses the intelligence of the custom AEC objects, but the resulting basic objects
can be displayed and accessed in earlier versions of AutoCAD for Mac when
object enablers are not available for those versions.
NOTE Any subsequent changes you make to this new drawing file do not affect
the original drawing file.
