Export does not retain Linework changes

Anonymous

Would someone please advise how to achieve CAD export from Revit 2020 which would retain linework changes I have made?

 

I need to make some lines invisible and some hidden.

This shows fine on the Revit sheet.

After export to CAD, there are no linework changes retained in the CAD, all is reverted.

I believe invisible lines applied using Linework are considered overrides...Check your DWG export settings and make try to export Overrides by entity

We have tried this, but it did not help for the INVISIBLE lines.

Make sure you override using the system <Invisible Lines> line style, not a user-created InViSiBle lines with a white color.

Which should tell you that the issue is in the Export Settings  on your workstation (as mentioned above)...

  1. Check if any modifiers are applied
  2. Check your settings and compare to theirs..
  3. or Simply reset the export settings to default by loading another standard like AIA then switch back to BS

thank you.

 

from what we have seen all settings are the same, but we have not tried to go to other and then back to BS. Hopefully it will work when we test this on Monday.

 

I am not sure what are the modifiers are that would be machine specific and not project specific. could you please be more specific?
