Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to set the units of the drawing being exported into acad? Currently, we have to reset the units when the drawing is opened in acad. It defaults to decimals. It's no big deal to me but a winee! co-worker complains that she has to do one more thing in her busy day.

Thanks.

"She" works here too, I just make sure I've converted it for "her" :) ...end of that whine. I'm talking Microstation here, but I've taken to referencing and merging (binding) the Revit export with a seed (template) file and that way I force all the standard settings onto the exported file.

Ought to work similarly in Acad. I have to do that because the "use template" function doesn't work right for Microstation in Revit yet. (not available for AutoCAD at all tho')

We were talking about that here. We may be able to run a script through acad that takes care of our whiner. I wish they would just let her go.
