I have a color presentation layout in Revit Arch 2009 that when I export to DWG format - I get strangeness. Please see the attachment.

Has anyone experienced this? What did we do wrong? :?:

TIA -

PS: The ACAD previews are picture perfect.

Try exporting, but uncheck Xref Views on sheets....what format are you exporting to and what version of AutoCAD are you using?

DWG and ACAD 2009 also.

I will try unchecking the Xref box tomorrow - Thanks!

looks like the "visual style" called "conceptual" has been applied in AutoCAD, due to the colors and fonts that are showing. If you change the vsual style back to "default" in the Visual Style Manager, does that help?

Scott,

Thanks for responding!

I checked that (although till now I did not know about it before now - thanks!) and it was sert as 2d wireframe.

Thanks again!

Michael,

Thanks for the lead... I tried the box unchecked and got 'something' I can work with I think by manipulating the OPTIONS button also.

The first and third option both give me something with those pesky images in which I can at least delete and move forward, but I have to say I am not impressed with this experience.

If Autodesk products do not exchange smoothly amongst themselves...

Thanks again!
