Setting linetypes to export Revit drawings to AutoCad

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I was woundering if there is anyway of setting a specific linetype to a specific category, in this case, I am talking about the projection lines that I am exporting from Revit into AutoCad.

Best regards

So if a line is solid in Revit it would be dashed in Autocad?  Nope...what you have shown in Revit shows up in CAD.  You may want to setup export views in Revit if you want to change the appearance of Revit items before exporting.

Why can't you change the Line Export Settings in Revit for Solid to Dashed or whatever?

You can but that would change it globally, every line in the project with such linetype will be translated, not just by Category.

Ah! I get it now. Nevermind me.

But is there any way of tdoing it in an isolated way, I mean throught the creation of lines with specific linetype, like dashed as we were discussing. I was woundering if I change this on the object styles, if it shows at the AutoCad file that will result from my export from revit.

Best regards

Whatever linetype you have specified in Revit, even if it is overridden by view...will translate to Autocad.

Why don't you setup Revit views, override graphics as necessary to show the linetypes how you want to look in CAD, then export?

@ToanDN, That is definitively agood ideia.

But, I do have a different problem while exporting from Revit to .DWG all pipe fittings and accessories appear in the cad file broken with a lot of missing lines as following
