Schedules go crazy when exporting to CAD

I'm working on exporting a set to CAD, but have a big issue with the way our keynotes are exporting. We have a keynote schedule on each sheet that shows fine in Revit, but when it's exported to CAD, the text does not stay within the outline box. For some reason the text elements are set to be wider than the box. I heard that exporting overrides can cause text to do funny things, but I've switched to not exporting overrides, and that doesn't fixt the issue. I'm sure someone has had this problem before, but I can't find anything on it. Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the Discussion Groups!

 

Revit and AutoCAD are quite different, and perfect translation is not really possible. Are the fonts being converted to an incorrect Style in AutoCAD? If not, then perhaps you can force it to export the correct by adjusting the settings under Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup » Text & Fonts tab.

Thanks. I have the fonts set up and they are exporting to the correct style. I'd still like to know the answer to this, but if all else fails I will simply remove the box around the keynotes and move it away from the edge of the sheet that it is spilling over.
