    Default Exporting to DWG...block color hard-coded...

    Hello:

    In a Revit Architecture 2008 project, we're exporting a linked Revit Structure file to DWG format for use by an interior design consultant. All structural entities are exported as blocks, with the color hard-coded, instead of BYLAYER.

    How can I get Revit to export these entities with the color set to BYLAYER?

    When exporting, click the Options button. You will get 3 options for layers :
    - Category Properties ByLayer, Overrides ByEntity
    - All Properties ByLayer, no overrides
    - All Properties ByLayer,new layers for overrides
