How to setup the layer descriptions

Dear Forum,

we need to export one of our projects to dwg sticking closely to the client's dwg templates and layer naming. The client's layer names only contain cryptic numbers  while the human legible version is kept inside the layer descriptions. The mapping text file that came with our Revit installation does not have an  entry to work with the layer description. How can this be achieved? Is there a Dynamo way?

Best,

Michael

I suspect that your only recourse is to post-process the DWG files in Autocad. Here are two solutions:

 

  1. "Insert exploded" your Revit exported DWG into an empty template DWG file that already has the all the clients layer names and corresponding descriptions. Resave to the original drawing name;

  2. Alternately, create a LISP program that reads a text file to assign the corresponding description to the layer names in Autocad.

 

Hope this helps,

Yes this helps greatly because I will stop hoping for a solution now. Please note that I cannot accept your solution because there is none. Please accept my kudo though.
