Exporting overridden dimensions to autocad

[Priit.L]

In Revit I can replace dimension value with text.
When I export it to Autocad, it is changed back to value.

Is it just me ?

No it is not just you. But for me it is only when I convertpstyles that the dimension overrides lose their value. If I don't convertpstyles the dim stay as they should.

Hope this helps

I have never used "convertpstyles".
I have those values already replaced with defaults when opening exported drawing.

We're having the same issue. I'm wondering if it is related to the know issue that when you add a dimension reference to an overridden dimension it loses the override and reverts to the actual dimension.

Have you issued this through the subscription website as a bug?

It seems that the problem is with files that are converted from previous versions of revit.
New project , started from revit 2010 template, are acting correctly.
Can anybody verify that?

I am waiting for an answer from Autodesk, it has been over a week now.

This is ridiculous... Do we have to look for this too?

Hi,

We have Revit 2010 and I noticed that the dimension text override depends simply on dwg export settings. If you open 'Export CAD formats' window and see the tab 'DWG properties' you can find the setting 'Layers and properties' as first.

When using option 'Category properties BYLAYER, overrides BYENTITY' dimension overrides remain also in dwg as they are in Revit, but if selecting other two options dimension text overrides changes back to values in exported dwg.

Nice work.

Have you also reported this to Autodesk?
