2019 - Export to DWG problems - missing dimensions and rotated viewports

Anonymous

I've got a large set of drawings that I've generated in Revit 2019.0.0.405 and have printed to PDF with no issues. However, when I export to .dwg, I have all sort of problems. Here's a list of the sheets I'm currently dealing with and the issues I see in the dwg exports:

 

S10 - (floor plan and enlarged plan, at two different scales) missing all dimensions

S11 - (one floor plan) missing all dimensions

S12 - (one floor plan) missing all dimensions

S13 - (3 sections, matching scales) no issues

S14 - (2 sections, matching scales) no issues

S100 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S101 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S102 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S103 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S104 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S105 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S106 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S107 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S108 - (many steel details made from section views, various scales) missing all dimensions

S109 - (four steel details made from section views, matching scales) missing all dimensions, and the three views that were rotated (to make the diagonal brace member horizontal) show an empty viewport.

 

I have not changed any of the export settings from default and do not see anything that indicates turning dimensions on or off...and some sheets worked anyways.

 

Anybody have any ideas on how to get the dwg exports to look 100% exactly like the printed pdfs?

Hi @Anonymous

 

You are welcome to share a file to test further. Let me know and I can forward you a private folder to upload.

Did you modify your export setup before exporting a model to DWG or DXF?

 

Looking forward to your reply update.

I can upload something if needed. It's a pretty big file.

 

I have not modified any export settings from the defaults. Trying to go from 2-dimensional Revit sheets to an AutoCAD paperspace.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Which version of AutoCAD are you using?

 

Can you post screenshots of your export settings, and a part of the model to reproduce this issue?

Product Version: 22.0.106.0 AutoCAD Mechanical 2018.0.1 Update

Built on: O.161.0.0 AutoCAD 2018.1.2 Update

 

Where shall I upload files?

It appears that somebody in our company did set up the export settings, so I stand corrected on that. Attached are some screenshots of the settings.
