Can't open Revit exported dwg files

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to open DWG files generated through "File > Export > DWG " command  in Revit 2019.2 but every time Autocad freezes and don't show up anything, then it closes (no error displayed).

I've tried with Autocad 2017, 2018 and 2019 vesions.

Even with the "RAC_basic_sample_project.rvt" the same thing happens.

When I use other CAD softwares it opens correctly.

How solve this??

Upload the CAD drawing and see if we run into the issue.

this is a dwg file generated from "RAC_basic_sample_project.rvt"

I was able to open the DWG. I assume it might be your AutoCAD that cause the issue. Maybe you should reinstall/repair it and see if that helps.

Are you opening this file directly with AutoCAD?  I can confirm that I also have no issues opening it with AutoCAD.

I was able to open the file with no issues using MEP 2018.  You should download DWG Trueview and see if it will open for you... at least then you'll know if it's your installation of AutoCAD that's causing the issue.

when you export to Autocad try different version and see if helps. thanks

I don't have any problems opening the drawing either.

In these cases I always try to insert the problem drawing into a new drawing as a block to see if that works.

You could also try ti XREF the problem drawing into a new drawing.

If either of them works you can either explode the block or Bind the Xref to create a new drawing.

Does this method work for you?

(als check if both your Revit and AutoCAD are up-to-date with the latest service packs/updates.)

Hi.

I've tried with 2018, 2013 and 2007 Autocad versions but it didn't worked.

Using another CAD softwares it works well. I will try to reinstall Autocad and see if works.

Thanks anyway.

@ Erense XREF the problem drawing into a new drawing worked.

Thank you.
