it would be useful to control which category or element to be as a block when it's exported to CAD format

because not all categories or elements exported as block, once it's exported it's exploded

From an AutoCAD user...

 

When I get files in from engineers using Revit, I don't get devices as nice blocks - I get individual lines. Makes it difficult to resize, move, etc as I work on my drawing in AutoCAD. Can this be changed?

 

Example, a fire alarm horn/strobe is usually a square with a letter in it and a triangle attached, or some variation. One block, or 7 lines and a letter.  Which would you prefer to work with??

@BiedyIt's not the Hammer. It's the way you hit!

Tell your engineer your problem. 

He should be able to solve this problem.

 

This is a link for sample File out of Revit (ACAD 2019 DWG) with exported blocks of Symbols like Smoke Detector and so on.
