Hi there,
I'm having an issue that I can't figure it out what is going on.
My problem is that although I have a view in a Revit Sheet, the frame view is away from the actual limits of the graphical elements (print 1), after I export the te sheet to DWG/ Autocad, that same limit shrinks to much, it reduces to the grafical elements limits (print 2).
The DWG view port limits overlaps the drawing limits and some elements won't show/print (print 3).
At this point I need to edit/ enlarge the viewports limits in Autocad to be able to see/ print all drawing elements, and that is not at all very practical, to say the least.
I already try to lok for a solution but with no luck.
Thanks for any helping tip and time taken.
Hi @aflferraz
Have You tried the same on Revit 2020.2?
Can You post example Revit file?

My apologies for the misspelled title, I already asked for a correction.
The correct title is "Exported DWG Viewports are too Small"
Sorry
Hi Rafal.Gaweda,
Thanks for the reply, after you reply, I tried several scenarios and this was the result.
At the moment I have in my PC the REVIT 2018 (latest version), REVIT 2019.2 and REVIT 2020.1 LT.
With 2018 I have no issues regarding this matter, I use other project, since I cannot downgrade from 2019 to 2018. That said, and with other project in the 2018 I have no issue.
With 2019.2 and 2020.1 LT I have this issue.
As you request i also attached part of the REVIT model and the dwg exported file, where I point out in red the viewports with the issue.
Thanks for the time taken.
Hi @aflferraz
Thank You for the files.
I have escalated issue to development team for further investigation.
Once I have any update from the development team I will keep you posted.

Hi, is here any news on this issue really annoying go to all DWG files. Thanks. Please fix ASAP.
I'm sorry but I don't have or received any solution to this issue yet and yes it's really REALLY ANNOYING.
Thanks.
i'm using Revit 2020.2, i dont have 2018.
that said..... if you hover over the view on the Revit sheet, the dark box you see is Not the crop region it is just the view selection outline (sorry, don't know the official name). if you double click on the Revit view on the sheet, the "Crop Region" window is virtually identical to the View Port created in Autocad. The content on the sheets is the same size when i measured them.

Hi @hmunsell
Thanks for the reply, I don't know if I'm following all the way about what you meant, but I'm using the same procedures I used before, with the Revit 2018 I didn't have this issue that I have with the 2019 and 2020.
The print 1 (viewport limit in black) is what I have in revit, the viewport, if I double click I enter the viewport I enter in the model mode,in this case it's a legend that's an imported dwg with the limits in blue (print 2).
If I export the sheet to autocad the viewport is reduced\shrink to that limit (print 3_left).
If I print it and once the viewport is equal\ over that limit it won't print (print 3_right).
At this point I have to edit the viewport in Autocad, if it's one I don't mind, but if it's 100 drawings this is very frustrating.
I even try to edit one viewport and copy it between multiple dwg files because Revit wont place the model items (this legends) in the same place.
I sorry if i missed understood you, I'm repeating myself but this is a very annoying issue.
Is something I'm missing here?
Thanks.
Hi,
Although it's not the perfect solution, It's a simple workaround to avoid part of this issue.
What I did (in my case I'm using inserted dwg legends and on those drawings) I made an exterior limit with a non printable layer, to force the issue to adjust to that limit and not the elements I want to see\print (Print 1).
After export from Revit to Autocad and print the sheet it looks normal as it should (Print 2).
This is a simple workaround (don't know why didnt think this before), not the solution because if you look (print2) the axis identifier circle is cut precisely by this shrink issue.
