V7 dwg/dxf export bug

[cadpro]

Good morning all,

I am finding that when I export a drawing sheet to dwg or dxf, that the datums, (level heads, grid heads) section heads and other detail components are being scattered all over the drawing space. With the dwg export, this happens only after I bind the xrefs.

Can anyone verify this?

I have had similar problems with a project created in 6 and upgraded to 7. When I exported to DWG doors, furnishings, plumbing fixtures were scattered. Luckily I had retained a copy in version 6.1. I was able to export flawlessly from this version.

Thank you for your reply ZIG,

I should clarify also that my export problem was with an UPGRADED project. I have not yet tried to export a native 7.0 project yet.

I have uploaded the Revit File to Customer Support. They are looking at it now. I should hear back within a week - Will post their findings. For me this is a serious issue. I need to export to DWG on a regular basis.

Same here Zig,

Autodesk is deligently plugging away at the problem....

I'm having the same problem. We're working on a project that we upgraded to 7.0 and I just tried twice to export a site plan drawing for my civil engineer. Revit has crashed me out both time. This is a big problem for me because I have to be able to get new base drawings to my consultants. I'm going to create a service request and upload my file.
