Go to R>Export>Options>Export Setups DWG/DXF and under Colors tab pick the 2nd or 3rd option.

Are your Revit drawings white on white background ? Could you post screenshots  from Revit and AutoCAD ?

Pick the 2 nd option to use colors in the Revit view.

To ensure the dwg eport and the Revit sheets look exactly the same you'll need to use the following export settings.

 

Revit is WYSIWYG, (What you see is what you get), Once you have set up your views and they look exactly how you want them, follow this process.

 

From the application menu (The big 'R') select export, then dwg.

From the dialog, select the 3 dots next to the drop down for 'Select Export Setup'

Export Layer Options should be set to 'Export all properties BYLAYER, and create new layers for overrides'. This ensures of any elements have manual overrides, filters or other changes in the view to be exported the changes are retained.

We use AIA layers, but it's not important, just pick one that suits you.

On Line tab, pattern tab, text and fonts,  ensure all are set to {Automatically generate ...}

Colors tab needs to be set to Trues colour if you want colours to map the same

Solids Tab, ACIS solids

Units and Coordinates, we use shared basis.

General Tab, we select export rooms option, we hode scope boxes, reference planes and unreferenced tag, but leave 'Preserve coincident lines' unticked to ensure minimise duplicate lines.

 

Hope this helps

In configuration select COLOR tab, there are two options:

1- TRUE COLOR (you will get exactly what is in your screen)

2- 255 color (configuration according layer color setup)

 

Choose wisely.

Aside from exporting the correct colours, how do you get the right lineweights in AutoCAD?

You could copy your dwg export settings from one project to the other one making troubles using Transfer Project Standards and see if the output is the same.

and never works using true colors.

Can't you send a correct project file to where the other computer is located and try Transfer Project Standards ?
