Export of DWG files into Revit - dimension style problems

Exporting to AutoCAD is certainly one of the most used feature in Revit.
Exporting to AutoCAD (DWG) is probably primarily the focus on the correct transfer of geometry, text and dimensions. The goal is the complete plan to export to AutoCAD. However, if the entire data model be exported for sharing, other delivery formats are required. Those who have

complete with export plans have experimented a bit like we are certainly not very satisfactory results of the dimension have seen.

usually see the results in AutoCAD then that way. The dimension is largely illegible. The style is the other jumped on "Standard".


Also, such results are possible. A mix of different styles. This can of course expect any customer.


way it should always look natural. The nice thing about it, it works with Revit. generate


to this result in Revit, we must distinguish two types of applications.

  • export different views with dimensions and text
  • export of plans with different views
Unfortunately, the solution for these two variants differ

solution for. only export a single view


The view is exporting - export> DWG. The export settings are followed precisely, especially in the red edging options. It is important here especially the Layer option. Category properties of layer override of elements. In this way we obtain layer overrides in AutoCAD. You have to live now, however.


solution for: a export plan as a whole

This approach, incidentally, comes from Autodesk themselves. So the problem is known.
The whole can be read here in English.



The solution for this is as follows:
Important We now export to DXF !
Take the settings as before. Layers and properties as before. switch The lyrics on "strict compliance with function. The result should look like the third picture.

Good luck with exporting.

Families can grouping on the one hand, and present them in different tabs. Shown is always the preview. Depending on the settings are displayed when selecting a family of all types. The family can be placed directly from the tab in a view.


The groups are selected on the upper right arrow. The groups can easily create yourself.


About the Group function are the various functions for creating groups.
As a group, the collection is understood by several tabs.

The tab creation is as simple as that of the group creation. Here can also complete folder as tabs are integrated into one. The preview images are generated here automatically and stored in a subfolder of the families. noted If you have problems with the preview images, then typing my of 18 February .



In the family options are hidden many useful options and other helpers. Thus, for create catalog files directly here. You can create your own custom thumbnails, and families from the Web are loaded directly into the tabs.
