Text on detail element is not exporting to DWG

alejandro — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 11:49:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a family (Detail Element) witn a nested Generic Annotation to read a parameter, it seems very stupid family, but our client needs the dimensions with a formula (driven with a strange rules), we can´t use revit dimensions.

the problem is this text is shown correct in revit, and also export to pdf, but in many views -not all- when exporting to DWG the text is not visible.

I atached some screenshots, may be more easy to explain.

thanks in adavance,

Seems like a scaling issue to me. When exporting from Revit the scale is always 1:1. You might want to check the AutoCAD file you are importing into. Be sure the drawing units are the same as they were in the Revit file e.g. mm to mm or decimal feet to decimal feet.

The units are the same, although I have two diferents views in the same sheet when exporting one view is correct and the other is without texts.

What happens if you use the export setting "Export views on sheets and links as external references" ?

Or do you already have that checked?

I´ve tried both, exporting with "export views…." and without and get the same result ,

In the same autocad file I can see the text from some views but not from others… see jpg attached

I'm not sure if this is you wanted it to be, I exported to DWG and find no issue's text is there? Have you tried to install the latest updates from Autodesk, autocad and revit? And see if helps. Please see screencast. Thanks

Thank you! I reopened the project in REVIT 2020 (originally was 2019) and still have the export issue, now upgrading Autocad and Revit version with the latest Upgrades and Fixes I wish I´ll been more lucky.
