Keeping feature styles and symbols when exporting to DWG or DXF

Hello,

in Finland we have access to the official topographic database providing us with raw shape files: 
https://tiedostopalvelu.maanmittauslaitos.fi/tp/kartta?lang=en
In GM we've imitated the styles of the raster topo map and would now like to process the data in AutoCAD. Unfortunately when exporting the data into DWG or DXF the symbols for point features are not included, the areas do not have filling color and even some line data color changes. Do you have solution for this or is this expert functionality simply limited?

Regards,
Paul

    Hi Paul.Bade, There is not currently support for saving symbol information or fill styles to DWG/DXF files. Are you limited to using those formats?

    Hi Josie, yes, unfortunately I'm limited to these formats. I could live without the graphic symbols for point features, but the styles for features (color, line width, filling) should remain when exporting to DWG/DXF.

    Hello,

    Is currently any support for saving symbol information or fill styles to DWG/DXF files.

    That would be very useful for us.
