View Full Version : Export to ACAD Sheet Size.

When I export to AutoCAD the size that it sets the sheet to is different to the one its set to in Revit, in Revit its set to A1 but the .dwg sheet is set to A4. I've changed the default print settings and checked everything I can think of but still no joy. Is there any way of correcting this or is this just the way it is and if I wanted to change it I'd have to do it manually which would be a real PITA considering the number of house types on this particular site.

Any suggestions.

Regards, Paul.

Paul,

We export to acad all of the time for our consultants and never had this problem. Can you post a screen capture of the export setting so we can take a look at it. Are you exporting from the view or by selected sheets?

Hi Scott, thanks for the reply. I'm exporting by selected sheets will post a screen shot later.

Paul,

I have been unable to recreate the issue that you are having. I would suggest sending this out to the Revit support team. Post the Revit file and a sample acad file to the support site. I would be curious to see what they have to say. If you get a chance please post the screen capture anyway maybe we can see some there.

Attached is the screen capture of the export settings I used (don't no if you can see them that well), all I did was select the export range: selected views/sheets and just selected the sheets required for exporting using the settings that we have for printing.

Any suggestions.

Paul.

Paul, Ever thing looks normal here on the view setting can you also give me a screen capture of the export to DWG settings?
