Hoping there's someone who has experience with customizing a CAD export settings text file for their office standards here...
Anyone know what setting to change to make text/leaders export as yellow? I currently have it set to "2" which works for most other things, but when I open it in AutoCAD, the color is set to "White" for some reason. It's "ByLayer" color is yellow (2) but for some reason, it's set to white.
If I set the "Layers and Properties:" setting to "All properties BYLAYER, no overrides," then it works, but if I do it by "Category properties BYLAYER, overrides BYENTITY," it's white. I don't want to set it to the former in case people have used the override graphics by element/category feature.
After some experimenting, it seems I can make the text export as yellow (ByLayer) if I literally change its color to yellow in Revit before exporting...I hope that's not the only way.
Another weird thing...
this project's dimensions are all in meters, so there's a dimension type set up that displays meters. However, when I export with the "One DWG unit is:" set to millimeters, what once was 28.64 m is now 28640.00 m. If I change that same setting from millimeters to meters, the dimensions show up correctly, but the linetypes don't display correctly (i.e. all dashed lines are now solid). Changing the Project Units within Revit doesn't seem to do anything.
