Dear all,

Our client has a CAD standard which requires certain dwg layer names to be assigned onto certain Revit elements when exporting from Revit 2020. Please can you share your tips or recommend the tools or plugins or Dynamo Packages for this task.

Many thanks in advance.

Congrats on your first post.
You can create "cad export settings" which map layer names, colors, line types etc. per element for exporting.
Save it in your template so it can be used over and over.
The OOTB ones are based on AIA I believe.

That's the best way to handle that if you expect to be doing that over and over.
