Exporting CAD files as Displayed

I need to export a DWG file of a saved view that contains SelfXrefs only as displayed in Datacad.
Is that possible?
Like a screen capture but in CAD format.

Yes, it should be possible. The main thing you need to do is toggle on the option(s) to bind XRefs and/or self references (aka self XRef) to symbols. These will then be in the DWG as ACAD blocks. If you have them Highlighted and you need the blocks to have the same setting - you will then need to import the DWG, and then edit the symbol to change the entities in it, to be the right linetype / color etc. that you have in the original drawing.
Then re-export the DWG with the edited symbols.
You can also do this by first Saving As a new file, then bind the XRefs / self references to symbols, then edit them for any highlighting settings, and then do the DWG export.
