The subject says it. I searched my entire hard drive and cannot find the text file. In Revit I can still choose the standard when modifying export setups, but I can't find the actual text file so I can modify it and match company standards.

I found two posts from 2004 and 2008 respectively where someone helpfully posted their version but I'm sure things have changed in the last 15 years so I don't want to start with those.

I really don't want to make edits entirely in-software since there will be a ton of copy-and-paste from CAD standards in excel. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Some years ago, the DWG Export settings were shifted to embedded settings rather than something you import/export. There are two ways to access the DWG export settings:

At the bottom of the File > Export menu
109679

or in the Export DWG dialog itself:

109680

Work through the tabs to create/match your company settings.

I recommend doing this in your template, but you can also do it in a "working" RVT. To transfer it between models, use Transfer Project Standards.

That's a little dissapointing, but exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
I think I'll send ye' olde' text file to the CAD manager to get their feedback, then it will be in-Revit data entry.
