Hi Maciej,

P‌lease can you email your .S07 project file to techsupport@stardraw.com? We will be happy to investigate this if we can reproduce the effect from your original file - thank you.‌

Hi Team,
I found next problem in CAD export. If the object was mirrored inside the StarDraw project, it was not exported correctly to the CAD file. The text is in wrong direction.

Hi Maciej,

We've reproduced this and will investigate.

What's the problem you're trying to solve by exporting to DWG?  It makes sense with Plan View drawings hat you might want an AutoCAD user to work with and edit the files, but I can't imagine this being a requirement for Block Schematic drawings.  If you just want others to see the drawing, PDF might be a better option, but I'd like to understand this particular requirement.

Hi Rob,

I need this functionality when I'm making only part of drawings for project. Customer is expecting drawings in DWG format. Normally I'm printing to PDF.

Hi Maciej,

We're looking into it - it's quite a complicated issue - and would hope to have a solution by next week.  We'll let you know as soon as there's any news.

Hi Maciej,

I'm pleased to tell you that an update was published today which fixes the problem you reported.  Sorry for the length of time this has taken but it was a very, very difficult issue to resolve, not least because where Stardraw Design 7.3 does allow text to be mirrored, AutoCAD does not!  Our development team had to work extremely hard to make this work and cater for all possible combinations and permutations of mirroring, scaling, rotating and translating objects, complicated further by doing different transformations on different levels of hierarchies.

But we got there!

Next time you run Stardraw Design 7.3 please Install Updates to get this latest version.
