Linked CAD in Drafting View vs Plan View

[Karol_Piroska]

These are the days I truly hate Revit and it's lack of basic functionality when it comes to scheduling, tables, excel support etc etc.
I have to import a table from a cad drawing. Because there is more information on the drawing then just the table (which is an extract from attributes), I tried to link the cad to a blank plan view (as suggested here on forum) because there is no option for crop region in draft view. On screen there is no difference between the two (draft view vs plan view). But when printed the output from plan view is horrendous while output from drafting view is crisp clean. Same file no ovverrides.

Anyone any idea why?

Thanks guys

Hi @Karol_Piroska 

can you please show us the style of your table?

When link in a model view, check the box Current View only so thta the CAD coming in as drafting linework, not model linework.

Apologies, I got to this just now. I had to issue the drawing so I used drafting view with selected layers only from CAD. I tried to pinpoint the issue, linking the cad to plan view and again to drafting view (without changing any settings) and I cannot repeat the issue!?

I'm just glad there were two other guys looking at the prints last week otherwise I'd think I'm insane hah

Thanks guys, I'll get back to this in case it happens again (hopefully not)
