FYI: Here is what help has about it.

 

 

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 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 product versions when object enablers are not available.

This command is used with drawings created in AutoCAD Architecture and previous releases.

Note Any changes you make to the new drawing file do not affect the original drawing file.

List of Prompts

 

The following prompts are displayed.

Export options [Format/Bind/bind Type/Maintain/Prefix/Suffix/?] <Enter for filename>: Enter an option or press Enter to specify a file name

Enter for Filename

Creates a new drawing file with the specified name.

Note You can use the Prefix option to create a unique file name for this drawing and to prevent overwriting the existing drawing file.

Format

Determines the drawing file format for the resulting drawing file.

 

 

Bind

Determines how xrefs are treated when creating the new drawing.

Yes

Binds all xrefs to the drawing. Layers and other xref-dependent named objects are merged into the new drawing.

No

Maintains the xrefs as links to other drawings.

 

Bind Type

Determines how xref-dependent objects are treated when the Bind option is turned on.

Bind

Maintains the names of layers and other xref-dependent objects when binding xrefs.

Insert

Merges the names of xref-dependent objects into the new drawing without including the original file name.

 

Maintain

Determines how blocks within custom AEC objects are treated.

Yes

Explodes all block instances within custom AEC objects into basic objects. The resulting basic objects revert to their original properties rather than the properties of the block definitions.

No

Does not explode any block instances within custom AEC objects. The properties of the block instances are determined in the usual way, depending on how the objects in the blocks were created and the property settings of the layers on which the blocks are inserted.

 

Prefix

Specifies the prefix to be added to the current drawing file name.

 

Suffix

Specifies the suffix to be added to the current drawing file name.

 

?

List Settings

Lists the current settings for the command.

How to remove AEC/Proxy junk.

Even that I now know how to it will be causing me to waste hundreds of not thousands of man hours removing AEC/proy CRAPhic, I glad I foubd –exporttoautocad. 

 

So far it is reducing my file size by about 40%, that right 40% of my file are useless AEC info that is only used for costumers with stuff like AutoCRAP Architecture or Civil 3D.

Apparently for some time now Full AutoCAD is not just AutoCAD, it has all features for the 11 other AutoCAD products in it. They thought they were not active and ether was not adding AEC info into the drawings, or thought we never notice. But guess what they have been, and we have noticed. 

 

I’m 100% sure they only added this for their own use/convenience, as opposed to doing something for their COSTOMERS! 

 

But there it is command –exporttoautocad, basically with this little program you can export to create a new DWG that is free of AEC/Proxy junk.

 

There a few options to modify the end result, format, bind, bind type, maintain, prefix, and suffix.

 

Even after reading the help on it i don’t know what bind does? I know what it says, but can’t see a difference in the files it creates.

 

Here is the commend string I wrote for it.

^C^C-exporttoautocad;f;2010;B;n;M;y;S;-Apr2012;P;.;

 

I look forward to any feedback.

 

LOL, The only single good thing in 2013 was hidden and is only a work around for their mistakes.
