Which CAD template does revit choose when exporting to dwg?

As per subject : Which CAD template does revit choose when exporting to dwg?

 

In another words, i need to choose a specific cad template for the revit to use when exporting to dwg, in order to save a lot of time changing some settings in the exported dwg.

 

thanks

Depends on what you picked from the Export setup.  You can pick one close to what you need and modify it and save as a New Export setup.

Always look for the 3-dot, my friend.

Dear friends of course I know that was a setup for export but this setup does not contain which CAD template will be used for that exported file please be informed that I'm not talking about that Revit template and talking about the CAD template which exported file will be using and many thanks for your time and your response

Revit does not choose a Cad template to export. It chooses a CAD standard. You cannot simply pick some dwt file and tell Revit to use it. It will not understand.

What you need to do is pick one of the listed standards that you think is close to yours, then modify its Layer names, modifiers, colors, etc... and save the Export setup.

To add to this, there is no ability to choose a CAD template file in Revit. You can, as mentioned above, control the layering of the elements as they are exported. If you need the exported geometry in a specific CAD template, you would need to do this in the CAD package using cut and paste, import, etc... Revit does not export directly to a chosen template.

I too have been searching for a way to have Revit NOT export a 30X42 size sheet onto an 8.5X11 sheet (scaled to fit). We have already established our layer mapping and all of the other essentials that are part of exporting Revit views and sheets to autocad.  However, when we have to export 100 sheets as a deliverable to a client, the CAD files always have 2 layout tabs, one of which has the titleblock/border file info and other "paper space" elements, with view ports to the model space for each view.  This is exactly what we want... ...almost.  As stated in the first line, it always comes in on an 8.5X11 sheet and scaled to fit.  We then have to manually go in and import a name page setup to change each drawing.  If Revit would allow us to Designate a dwt that has the page layouts already defined...   ...we wouldn't have to do that.

You should be providing PDFs to your clients for printing purposes. If they need to print from AutoCAD, Revit automatically provides the .pcp files needed for printing the exported drawings according to the way they are set-up in Revit.

 

Since Revit's print settings are view specific, the solution you seek is in AutoCAD. You are talking about page set-ups and lineweights. Revit handles these much different from AutoCAD. Revit is much more robust when it comes to lineweights.

 

You don't have to import the page set-ups manually. It can be done using the publish command. There are also batch processing routines available for assigning page set-ups to multiple layouts in multiple files.

 

Good luck!

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Good tip on the Publish Command. One thing I did notice though when doing the manual way, from time to time view ports will extend beyond the limits of the border file. Most of those were on Revit files that had been upgraded and then exported as our deliverable (final record drawings). This was caused by the Survey and Project Base points being turned on in plans and elevations. Not sure why they were turned on but that is another topic altogether. Suffice it to say, when I fixed that issue, there were still some random view ports that extended beyond the title block limits. I will look into the publish command in AutoCAD further.
Thanks
