DWG inserted into a Family

August 29, 2011, 03:41 PM

Ok Ok Ok. I know this is a bad way to do things. Lets not focus on why we dont put non-native Revit content into our drawings. We all know its bad practice. Moving on...

Am I missing something here or can you NOT extract a DWG file from a Revit Family and save it? I am at a loss here trying to figure out a way to save out a DWG file that is inserted into our of the families we have here.

What happens if you export the whole family? Shouldn't the dwg piece export out as a whole? Then, in the dwg file, delete everything that isn't the dwg piece you want.
