    Default Dim. vs. Layer when converting Revit file to ACAD file

    Hi! Is it possible to setup Revit to dimension with two separate "layers"? For example Architectural Dimensions and Structural Dimensions. I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and converting the Revit files to AutoCAD 2007 .dwg files for our structural engineer.

    Is it possible to control the layer colors / lineweights / linestyles of Revit files converted to AutoCAD files (make my revit file match the outside firm's AutoCAD standards) ?

    Thanks!
    Rob

    You can dimension in Revit with different Types for the Architecture/Structure issue but when you export they'll all go to the same layer. And you can control how categories and subcategories are exported to layers/colors in the Export Setup dialog.

    Greg,

    Thanks! I will take a look at the export setup dialog.
