not to my knowledge or not without some major manipulations. Is there anyway to export the whole and organized revit sheet to the autocad model? Thanks. I can export it to Autocad's layout, but i cannot export the whole sheet to the autocad model, and I really needed it. It was super frustrating.Hi, i have a doubt about exporting a revit sheet to autocad dwg. Usually the page layout settings are embedded in the DWG file, are they not? No matter what my default settings are, I have files (created by others) that open in whatever layout they are saved.įri, at 8:31:01 PM | RVT to DWG export page layout settinigsįor what it's worth, my firm has had this same plot issue with Revit MEP 2011 and the above procedure (changing the paper size of the "DWG to PDF" plotter in Autocad) worked for us as well. Looks like you're right that the default printer setting in AutoCad determines the page layout when the RVT to DWG is opened in AutoCad.which seems very strange to us. Wed, at 7:53:51 PM | RVT to DWG export page layout settinigs Revit will always export the sheet size to match. I think this is just the default printer setup for the user for when he opens the CAD file and has nothing to do with Revit.

We have many users and have never set this on their CAD setup. I don't believe Revit quires AutCAD at all. Wed, at 7:38:56 PM | RVT to DWG export page layout settinigs We would be interested to know if this the normal process for a RVT to DWG export or if we have a funky installation. Change the paper size in Device and Document Settings. This opens the Plotter Configuration Editior. Set the Default Output Device to "DWG to PDF" Navigate to Options then Plot and Publish in Autocad

It was corrected by going to Options/Plot and Publish in Autocad and setting the "Default plot setting for new drawings" to Arch D. Seems that Revit was querying the individual user's Autocad settings to set up the page layout in DWG. This had us pretty confused but we found a solution (and also explains the 8.5x11 and 11x17 discrepancy): Wed, at 7:29:49 PM | RVT to DWG export page layout settinigs Has anybody messed with the export setup - units? I don't see how this can affect anything. You are plotting the 24x36 sheet - right from the sheet view? The printer setups have nothing to do with this. To see the sheet sizes you are stating says you may just be looking at some printer default seetings in the CAD file - not the CAD sheet size. What confuses me is the 8-1/2x11 vs 11x17 statement. you have changed a setting somewhere that I don't know about. You guys may have faulty installations OR. This is not a problem for anybody that I know. Wed, at 6:53:57 PM | RVT to DWG export page layout settinigs
