I am attempting to publish DWF from AC and tried a zillion different ways but it does not work.
The first image shows the plan how it shoudl look at the second image shows what the published DWF file looks like.
Everything is squashed into one long line. Could somebody please help.
Thanks.

I tried recreating your problem but could not; published a DWF from ArchiCAD Orchard Project example; opened it with Autodesk's DWF viewer... everything came through fine. Even tried all 3 DWF options.

1. Chose File/Publisher/Publish...
2. Create a view set
3. Set the View Set Publishing Properties to "Save" and tell the program where.
4. Make sure the files are set to save as DWFs
5. Push the Publish Button

I opened a different project that i work on and it worked out fine.
I had done it before and it worked fine.

I have tried to merge it into a new file and it gave me the same problem.
I dont know what to do since this project is going on site in 2 weeks and i need a file that is not corrupted. Any suggestions?
It publishes as pdf and dwg without problems......

Another thing:

This project originated in AC8.1

I have opened 5 previous independent versions of this drawing (superseded) and they are all the same. When publishing to dwf it just drops everything into one central line on the page.

Any other drawing i open i do not get this problem.
It must be a problem with the *.pln file or the preferences relating to it.
Would it be possible to email the file to somebody for troubleshooting?

You might want to send it to your tech support?

In the meantime - merge it into your template, or a New and reset file.
