... do a mass "Symbol Explode"? I've got an AEC file that has symbols that were imported via DWG that now need to make the round trip BACK to DWG, but they've been mirrored/rotated such that when I open the exported DWG in BricsCAD the symbol attributes are WAY far away and rotated from the rest of the symbol.

HELP!!!

Turn on the layers that contain the symbols. Make sure "Layer Search" is on, and no layers are locked. Go to the 3D Menu, choose "Explode," and then toggle "Sym Explode" on. Decide whether to explode to the "Active Layer," "Symbol Layer," or "Orig Layers." Press [Ctrl]+[a] to "Select All." DataCAD will explode all symbols.

In the 3dTools macro there is a Kaboom! command that "Explode a drawing by dropping a bomb on it", nver used it though.
