Revit to CAD Export Precision

[cslaten]

My team has recently encountered an issue where all Revit drawings exported to AutoCAD default to 1/16" precision when the units are viewed in CAD.  My understanding is that this is easily remedied by changing the units to 1/256" after export, but people are fallible and forget to make the change before they start working.

I've read on other forums that the scale of the drawing being exported from Revit influences the unit precision settings of the CAD file, but I've tested this and determined it false.  The default is always 1/16".  Is there a way to change this?  My native AutoCAD unit default is 1/256" so that's not the issue here either.  

I'm beginning to think that this is a baked in Revit / AutoCAD oversight, but hopefully someone out there has figured out how to change the default.

Thanks!

While waiting for the Idea to get approved, you can paint something and watch it dried, along with create a Script or a LSP to batch-change the DWGs unit precision.
