BIM Interoperability Tools: Uniclass code assigning and exporting view to DWG

[CMSL]

Hi All, 

I am having an issue involving the BIM interoperability tools add on as well as the export to DWG feature. I wish to assign all elements in the model Uniclass codes and then export views to AutoCAD with using Uniclass codes to generate the AutoCAD layer names for each component. 

So far I have managed to assign the Uniclass to the components, set up the export to export according to Uniclass layers however in the resultant DWG files, only Revit library components appear in the correct layers and my own imported families are put in a generic layer. For example, if I assign a standard pipe to, Pr_65_52_63_10 Carbon steel pipe and fittings, as well as a branch pipe adaptive family I have created myself assigned to the same Uniclass layer, only the standard pipe will be in the correct layer, my own families will be entered in to, Z-Zz_85-Z-M-Dn_GenericModelElement. 

I am using a Uniclass2015.txt library for the export and I have tried adding in extra lines to the .txt family that will account for additional Uniclass layer names however they fail to link to the families in Revit to which they are assigned. 

The attached images show the export set up, and 2 elements that have been assigned to the same Uniclass layer in Revit but appear in different Uniclass codes in AutoCAD.

Any help is very much appreciated.
