Can't Export Portrait to Portrait Sheet from Revit to Cad.

nomaankhatri — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 10:04:36 GMT

I have around 200 A4 sheets in Revit which are in Portrait orientation, when I export them to CAD the come in Landscape orientation.

Is there any setting or trick by which I can control the orientationOriginal Revit SheetExported from Revit to Cad while exporting from Revit?

@nomaankhatri Just change your default plot settings in Autocad to the size you want and it will show up that way. 🙂 (Options - Plot and Publish)

You can use the DWGCONVERT and load all your 200 DWGs. In the setting, you can change the page setup and load your template portrait plot.

It's obvious that your problem is the CAD not Revit. Change your plot area to window select the edges of the sheet and apply layout.

hello, just a wild guess, just install the latest updates from autodesk, sometimes it fixed the issues. thanks

Karibal,

I know I can do this, but my problem is I have more then 200 sheets and I need to perform this task every week for Submitting my drawings,

I assume the problem is with Revit export, as when the sheets are in oriented in Landscape mode revit doesn't any problem exporting them.

Thanks.
