Keynote file

[John Anderson]

I have heard that Autocad Architecture uses the new MasterFormat 2004 format for their Keynote system.

Does anyone know if that is easily transferable into Revit's text file for keynotes?

Thanks

If you go to GuyR's post you should be able to get what you need. I am not sure what format AutoCAD Materformat 2004 is in, but I'm sure it can be translated to a keynote.txt file for Revit. GuyR's attachment revit file.zip has a keynote txt file for revit with Masterformat 2004.

That should be a good start for you.

Thanks.

but I am still curious, if anyone is working with AA, to know:

-have they worked out any of the associations that GuyR has noted were not yet defined between MF95 & MF04?

-is there anything about the way this is implemented in AA that might indicate a cross application way of interfacing this data that Autodesk may be working on, i.e., database instead of text based or attemps to coord with RSMeans?

My intuition is No & No, but thought I'd ask.

If you search AUGI Revit forums using Masterformat, you'll find the message below and a Masterformat 2005 txt file for Revit keynoting.
