    Default Exporting to CAD from Revit (Preset .txt file to load? ctb file?)

    Hi,

    I did a couple of searches on the forum and browsed some threads but couldn't really find the specific question/answer that matched mine (perhaps because my issue is too basic).

    I'm setting up some templates for my office and am wondering about the "Load" button under

    Big R (that's what I refer to it as)\Export\Options\Export Layers DWG/DXF

    When I click "Load...", the "Export Layer File" that it's looking for is a .txt file but I was wondering if there are .txt files out there that are formatted for AEC standards or anything like that at all? So far, I haven't really heard anyone in the office complain about the exported dwgs coming from Revit but I wanted to ask since I'm not very familiar with this part of Revit (in addition to a bunch of other areas). Or can one utilize a ctb file in place of the txt file by changing the extension or something? (I'm a AutoCAD noob too)

    If anyone has any information that would help me on this, that would be great!

    Thanks in advance!

    you can download one of these txt files and modify it to meet your needs. Open it up, look at the formatting, then edit.
