Revit 2017 - Extension for complex DWG export setting

[Anonymous]

Does anybody knows a decent extension with much more options to export Revit plans/section to dwg? We are in need of exporting drawnings to DWG format and Revit dosen't allow me to create settings which match our DWG standards.

It would be easier to run CAD Standards in AutoCAD to make your exported DWGs follow the firm standards.

Hi

You can customise the Layer standards while exporting..

Check out these settings .

You can load new standards as per your requirement.

Cheer!

Hi

X-Rev is a nice plugin to export DWG and PDF in one go.

It will give option to customise layers standards and save it for 

all CAD exports.

Pretty reasonably priced as well.

Cheers

That's for the first time when I heard about "run CAD standards". Is it "CHECKSTANDARDS" command?

@Corsten.Au

Thanks, I'll check Xrev this week and if it will suit our needs I mark your post as solution.

I set those built-in export standards, but matching layers by phase/element funcion/structural usage modifiers still is not giving me desired results and exported DWGs requires some manual actions.

Yes.  I forgot to attached the image.

Thanks for the ss. I need to take a look on CAD standards and Xrev tools.

FYI

I checked Xrev tools, it's not changing anything related with my problems, so I decided to take new approach.

1) Export all properities BYLAYER, and create new layers for overrides + unchecked preserve coincident lines.

2) Desired section with elements created by structural fundation template, has filter on it's cut view (funny that in 2 of 3 export settings filter changed ID of colour, not on desired but mixing colors)

3)Rename/merge layers (some layers goes on 0-desired name)

Weird part of the export is that ramp, created as in place model, as GM category, is going on column layers.
