      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm having the same issue.&amp;nbsp; We typically export in fine mode so we can see widths, especially on ductwork.&amp;nbsp; Otherwise we spend a lot of time picking through all the fittings to move them to the correct layer before we can send out to others.&amp;nbsp; I'm currently trying to get it set up to work in 2016.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's 2020 and this is still not fixed in Revit 2020 nor Revit 2021, unless someone has found a workaround?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I came across the "Enhanced" DWG Exporter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.biminteroperabilitytools.com/dwgexporter.php#:~:text=Autodesk%20Enhanced%20DWG%20Exporter%20for%20Revit%20Improves%20the,of%20limitations%20of%20the%20built-in%20DWG%20Export%20feature" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.biminteroperabilitytools.com/dwgexporter.php#:~:text=Autodesk%20Enhanced%20DWG%20Exporter%20for%20Revit%20Improves%20the,of%20limitations%20of%20the%20built-in%20DWG%20Export%20feature&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But to be honest, the interface is very confusing and it does not seem to fix the problem where fittings ignore the layer modifiers....&lt;/P&gt;</description>
