Bind an image to a revit dwg export

Anonymous

I have a complete CD set to export from Revit to DWGs and aside from the complete lack of customization needed for correct NCS layer mapping, my current issue is the company logos on the title blocks exporting as separate files. I am in Revit 2013. I saw another thread with someone saying 2013 has resolved this issue, but I am finding this to be not true. Guidance Please??

The root problem stills being the Revit while exporting.


Totally disagree, When exporting from any program to a non-native format, there are always "bound" to be issues that need to be resolved in the target program.

4 years into this and still no real solution. But boy, sure am glad they reorganized the massing buttons and finally, finally, incorporated the dark scheme, just like Acad. Now those are the productivity tools we have all been screaming for.

That's expected for a new feature which was by 2013 while this topic was first posted.

We've seeing improvements while exporting in other formats as PDF for batch plots, tables and etc.

Even talking about an external format, We shouldn't forget that is their proprietary .dwg, and while working only into a CAD file this workflow has been completely managed.. you can attach spreadsheets, pictures etc. both embedded or pointing to an external file.

Stepping into Revit it seems that none effort was put to reduce workflow ahead after export. Even the same logo used at stamp is generated multiple times for each file.
Overall it will be a feature that We will not need in a while as soon as the workflow could be 100% through 3d but it seems something that could be done and They just do not want to.

here is the solution

When Revit users create DWGs, there is always a big challenge after that...

The images of the drawing sheets are attachments, and if the intent is to share the DWG (i.e., upload to a CDE), the user will need to bind the images one by one, which becomes a super time-consuming task.

The good news is that DiRoots has solved that problem and ProSheets will bind all images when we batch-export your drawings.
