Exporting DWG issue

So it every time I go to export a DWG file, there are random things missing.  For example, there is a big chunk of a wall missing, entire walls missing, doors missing, random components missing (there will be one of the exact same thing on the cad and one missing).  I've attached screenshots from the DWG where you can see there are definitely missing spots and a Revit one to see what is missing (one this a missing chunk in a wall - that is one single wall, some doors and equipment are also missing).  I will have to comment to add more attachments.

Here are more screenshots - this one there is clearly equipment missing (along with walls).  It is strange, there are two exact same tables, one is showing up and one is not.

That's one tab. What about the others?  

 

Try using <in-session export setup> and report back your results.

Hopefully the zip file works since there are so many screenshots

Nope, neither of those worked.  I tried checking "preserve coincident lines" and "export views on sheets and links as external references" at the same time.  I tried just check one and then the other.  Same result.  Still have missing chunks/walls/equipment/etc.. 

 

Same thing happens when I export with "<in-session export setup>"

Post the File. If I can replicate, then I can figure it out.  Otherwise, it's just a guessing game -- and frankly, I'm out of guesses at the moment.  

 

State your software versions as well.

I run into the same issue yesterday where my annotation text from Revit won't get exported to AutoCAD. I was able to export out successfully opening new project and link in your existing Revit model.

Here you go to the Revit link and then link by view to your plan. Then Export it out and my CAD export out with proper text.

Nope, I tried your method where you link the project in and export from there.  Same result as before

here's the project.  I purged all unused and got rid of extraneous views that I don't need to export,  It's in Revit 2020

I've look at your file. One question I have is rehost the door elsewhere and seeing these wall in limbo eventhough the wall phase and door has the same phase created and demolished. Without knowing the history of the file, can you explain if there was design option placed on the file?

When I remove the wall and export them out it works partially but still issue persist. However I found a quick solution to export it to CAD. Print them as PDF. Then in AutoCAD, you can import PDF and convert to CAD

There is no design options for the file.  I will try and do the work around and import a pdf into cad

I can't replicate an issue -- at least in 3 tests - using your export setup. What View(s)/Sheet(s) are you Exporting?  Or, do you see something I'm not seeing between in these two screenshots?

huh, now I am really confused.  Why are you not having the same issue? I tried to export from that exact file and had the same issues I did before

Give me your particular workflow to replicate.  For Instance, start with the name of  the View you were unsuccessfully Exporting.

So I just tried to export the floor plan view and it worked just fine, so it has something to do with the sheet
