DWG 2D export : if you want to export your drawing in dwg and modify it later on, it is better to switch the export mode to semantic instead of graphic (graphic is when you do not want to modify the dwg in other softwares). 

Turning on the option Export View as Viewport will allow keeping the proper scale of the views at export.
