Finding problem in converting to pdf

Hello Friends,

I exported my sheet from Revit to Autocad, It happened well as I have to add some colors in wall and at the site. I did this as Revit doesn't allow this feature.

I am trying to convert that dwg file to pdf, but after following the steps I cannot convert it in A1 size as The image in pdf file looks too small that no one can see it properly after zooming.

Can anyone help me why I am having such issue? It's urgent I have to send that pdf before Monday!

Attaching the pdf that I am getting!

Hi,

 

>> I am trying to convert that dwg file to pdf

Create a layout and run _PLOT using "DWG to PDF.pc3" as driver. That gives you full control about page sizes for your PDF (which can't be defined using _EXPORTPDF).

 

At least you have some objects far away from each other, so that's the reason why they are so small ... to fit on a PDF page.

One more thing can I change all the colors that I am getting after
converting from rvt to dwg.
It's so annoying I need my pdf in black lines and text only... No any other
colour

Hi,

 

did my first suggestion work?

 

>> I need my pdf in black lines and text only... No any other colour

Use first command _SETBYLAYER to convert all properties to bylayer (you can use option _SETTINGS to only convert colors to "bylayer").

Within the layermanager you can then assign color 7 (black/white), so ready to be printed in black.

 

If something is not converted then we need the drawing to see which objects are not working with that suggestion.

PS: please create a new thread for new question as e.g. this question now does not have anything to do with the original title, so future readers would not find these questions/suggestions.
