EXPORT from Revit to autoCAD problem!

[bh-khanh]

Hi experts

I tried to export to autoCAD from Revit, but the dimensions in autoCAD after exporting is not same original in Revit

You can see the number in the marking. Text height after exporting change from 3.0mm to 304.7559(export from 1/100 scale view in Revit, so maybe it multiplies with 100 times), and text offset change from 0.625 to 0.2051;

Thank you very much for reading and please give me the solution if you have!

I also attached the sample, please take a look on it.

if you measure the height in revit it 304 mm but 3mm it means that the height of text after print 3mm as the scale is 1:100 so i think all of number in revit it indicate after print and at scale 1:100

3mm text in Revit is 3mm high, regardless of scale.  In AutoCAD you have to scale the text to the correct size, so 3mm text in AutoCAD will be 300mm at a scale of 1:100 and 600mm at a scale of 1:200 in paper space.

Hi @Anonymous @amdesoky87 

Thank you very much for your answer. But You can see the capture picture. in Revit(1/100) the text high is exactly 3mm, but why in autoCAD after exporting it is 304.7559? Why it was not 300.000 mm = 3.00x100 mm? And why the text offset was not 0.625x100=62.500 mm instead of 0.2051?

Thank you very much!

I can't be sure, but there is a bit of a calculation error between Revit and AutoCAD, as Revit uses real world distance, while AutoCAD uses units - AutoCAD does not care if 1 is 100m, 100mm or 100 inches.  Also, Revit calculates in imperial measurements (feet and inches). When you see meters or millimeters in Revit, its actually calculated in imperial and translated to metric.  But does it matter? The difference between 300mm and 304mm at a scale of 1:100 is 0.04mm, which is insignificant.

No issues exporting RVT to DWG here.  Must be a local thing.

Hi @barthbradley 

It seems to be good in your capture.

Could you teach me how to setting it in Revit in order to receive a data like your picture in autoCAD?

Thank you very much!
