Titleblock not exporting correctly to DWG

[chris_pitt]

Hi

I have an issue with Revit not exporting the titleblock  to DWG correctly.

I have attached a couple of images to illustrate what the title block looks like in Revit and when exported to DWG.

The title block use coloured filled regions and off-white text to achieve the desired appearance in Revit.  However it appears that the export process puts all the information on one layer and in one colour.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get this to export better?

Maybe it's better to do those graphics again in AutoCAD, and create attributes to replace the labels in Revit, etc. in other words, the export is just a guide, to create the titleblock in AutoCAD.

That was, sort of, my initial thought too.  However it's just not a good use of time.  We are required, on certain projects, to upload both PDFs and DWGs of sheets, and the export process needs to be "fire and forget".

Whilst I will hate doing it I will change how the titleblock is constructed if necessary.

Alternatively you can use solid color images (PNG or TIFF) in lieu of the filled regions in the titleblock family.

Noted, but is that good practice?  I suppose with a complex logo there is no choice, but ours is so simple it just, well, feels wrong.

Please post example Revit file with this titleblock.
We will check it.

Hi

Please find attached a stripped out project with the title block left in.

Either you can use approach suggested by ToanDN in post 4

or you can try to replace texts by Generic Annotation families with this texts. See example below

Any chance you can look at this further?

I assumed this would work as I could see the logic of it, however, when I load the generic annotation family in to the logo it places it behind the colour box.

As there is no draw order control in the family editor how do I control this?

I should say we are using Revit 2015 at the moment.

Hi all,

Still not a solution for this after all these years?

Many thanks,

Modify your .dwg export settings.

Please review again the topic. Of course we need to change the settings before exporting but that is not the question
