Exporting from CAD mode to Autocad?

[Arctura]

I made a plan of my house in CA, in CAD mode since I wanted to see if I can use it to calculate floor area with JW Cad later. I used Cad Mode because I couldn't figure out how to make some details in normal mode.
In any case when I export a file now, I get an empty file in JW Cad later, and same in Autocad. I guess the export only exports actual walls and not my CAD objects?

Try changing your background color in autocad. Chief lines that are black, stay black - they don't change to white like in autocad. I'll bet your stuff is there and that you just can't see it.

Are you using the right export?

There are several exports, but you need to make sure you are using "File>Export>Current View (DWG, DXF).

Thanks, I got it to work. I had to adjust the layers, apprently I had saved my objects on an odd layer.
However the rulers that got saved along with the plan has measuring numbers stuck on them in empiric measures, although I set it to export in metric.
