hi.
I've exported a drawing from Revit to Autocad. the dimensión lines and text have a 0,09 thickness in their layers. if I plt with monochrome style the result is the following.
if I publish a pdf direct from Revit, the results are the next:
is there any way to make the thicness of the lines match between them?
the options I have used to plot in autocad are showed below.
whats wrong with the dimensions..... they look fine to me.

what font are you using in Revit for your dimensions? it looks like it is exporting to a SHX font (RomanS?). check your export settings, fonts tab and see what it is defaulting to. id recommend a TTF if possible, Arial for example, but any TTF font should export decently.

well this is more of an Autocad question than a Revit one, but.....
in the DWG, select the text and make sure the Line Weight is set to ByLayer. i prefer to have all 3 of these set to by layer.
Next, are you using CTB or STB?
if your using CTB you can edit the color line weight in the upper right cornier in the plot style table. you can set the color being used for the test to Use Object Weight or assign it a lineweight as desired.
Also, in the Plot Options, make sure Plot with Plot styles and Plot Object Line weights is selected.

not sure where that would be done in Revit, possibly the Line Weights option (Manage > Additional settings > LineWeights)? i usually fix that kind of stuff in Autocad with a script file that i run on exported DWF's.
no chance in talking your client into using a standard TTF :-). we have actually had some success with that. luckily fewer and fewer clients are asking for DWG's lately.

just curious, when you export, do you specify Text & Font for Revit and Autocad in the export table? you can tell Revit when exporting exactly what font to use instead of letting it "Automaticly" figure it out (i don't trust the automatic option 🙂 ).
