How to export the Revit to ACAD to look nice and ...

September 8, 2011, 06:30 AM

In revit,
When i export the dwg to ACAD all the layers, colours , linetypes and everything are totally different from whatever done in Revit.
Any solution?

In my company, we have standard layers and colours CP83 in ACAD, how can i make them to be the same look in both of Revit and ACAD?

Thanks

In Revit: set the Lineweights to match you Autocad setup. Then set your object styles to the proper lineweights.
For exporting, go to Big R > Export > Dwg's. In the export menu, go to the export settings and map all Revit layers to the correct autocad layers. Save this in your template. Keep in mind that this is a tedious process but once setup it works great.
