Thanks Aaron, this is helpful knowledge and I think I see how to make it
work for me as I don't need to print from AutoCAD. I just need to be able to
see what is what well enough that our none Revit users can use these
exported elevations/sections as backgrounds for details and such. I can just
have them change all the layers to white (or whatever color they prefer) and
then set AutoCAD to show lineweights...
One more question though. Our office uses a standard in which our layers for
linework in elevations and sections are based on the plot thicknesses of
those lines (ie. the thickest (the cut line) is on a layer called
A-Sect-MCut, followed by A-Sect-03, A-Sect-02...) regardless of what object
the line is representing. Is there not a way to correlate those lineweights
to a layer. For instance everything that is cut will come in (acad) on
A-Sect-MCut, then the next thickness of line (shown in Revit) will come in
on a layer called A-Sect-03.
Thanks again,
Brad
