export to Autocad
When I export my rhino drawing to autocad it appears as a bunch of vertical lines instead of the nice curvy shapes that I have drawn. The commands all seem very straightforward....export selected, then saving as a dwg file. I am using the osx version of Rhino. I am attaching an image because the Rhino file size is too large.
Thank you.

Maybe the objects are in the wrong plane in AutoCAD? (i.e. you're seeing the curves edge-on...) How did you export them? Difficult to tell what's happening without seeing some real geometry, how about exporting just one curve as a Rhino file and also as a DWG/DXF as you did before and post that here...

You were correct. I rotated the image 90 degrees in rhino so that it was drawn in 2d (I guess) and on the xy axis. Then I exported it to autocad. Success!

Hi Paul- please export some small part of the file to a new Rhino file, then export to DWG again from this file- please post or send me both files, and a capture of the settings used in the DWG output.
thanks,

Thank you. I rotated the image in Rhino as per Helvetosaur's suggestion and it worked.
