Revit Project to dwg vs. plotting

[rrothwell785683]

never been asked before, several AutoCAD users want to find a .ctb file to plot files that are DWG files exported from Revit. Is it one of the acad.ctb out of the box .ctb? I use Revit Architecture and export to help out AutoCAD users and now they are asking if they can just use the details and what pen setting they need to plot. Any ideas?

Thanks!

When you export from Revit you get a .pcp file that comes along with it.
That .pcp file is unique to that individual export. That file can be used to generate a .ctb file to go along with that file when printing out of the box.
The issue you run into deal with any visibility graphics overrides.
When you set up your exports, I'd suggest that you assign colors that work with your companies .ctb file and Revit Object styles.
That will get you somewhat close. Not sure you'll ever get 100% match unless you never override anything in individual views.
Once you get that created, you can use the Transfer project standards to get the cad export settings into a container file for future use.
