EXPORTING LAYER to autocad

[Alvin_Alejandro]

1.I've had read sometime ago that viewport can be assigned to layer when exporting to Autocad. but I can't find where in the export.Please help.

2.The left image is revit & the 2nd is autocad. In revit sheet view my title block is in A1 portrait layout in some reason. And the Question is that when I exported it to autocad the inserted company logo(image jpg) was not rotated.

1. You should have a viewport category set in your export layers file... If you're using a previously created layers file it may not have the viewport layer included. open an 8.1 layers file in a text editor and simple copy that to your layers file.

2. Strange haven't experienced this before, but i don't usually rotate images. Was the titleblock created in this format or has it been rotated in the project?

To check your viewport export setting ... File > Export >Options > Layer Settings. ( new in 8.1 )

Ans: you're right I've used my previous created layer file, I see it already.

Ans:Yes, its created in this format and no it is not rotated. but the image.jpg was rotated in the family.



Thanks..and to Beegee for illustration..

Alvin,

I ran a test in 8.1.

The raster images did rotate, but are completely screwed in Autocad.

Sounds like the solution would be to rotate the image out of revit then import already rotated. Obvious export bug needing attention me thinks...
