How do I set up new layers when exporting DWG from Revit?

I export the DWG from Revit with the option 'Export all properties BYLATER, and create new layers for overides'.


Then new layers are created,

However, the color and lineweight of these new layers are different from the export Setup I set.

 

As shown in the picture, the Pipes layer is 'PileLine' and the color is number '4',

and the Sleeve layer is 'Sleeve' and the color is number '4'.

However, the new 'PipeLine-1' and 'Sleeve-1' layers in CAD have color number '43'.

And 'TEXT-1' and 'TEXT-2' created in the TEXT layer have different colors and lineweights from  TEXT.

I want to know how to set the color and lineweight of new layers.
Or, I'm curious about what criteria colors and lineweights are created by.

Thanks for your reply.


The information about colors in new layers for overides seems to apply below, but I did not understand it, so my curiosity was not resolved. can you explain?

First, it says edge colors are ignored, but I'm not sure exactly what 'Edge overrides are longer assigned to the entire model' means.

 

Second, perhaps Phase colors are part of what I'm curious about. It says 'Color overrides on solid fills are supported'. Can I specify the colors supported for solid fills??

 

And is there no way to specify the color of new layers?
