Guys Hopefully simple question here:ACAD has a standard of lineweights that get plotted out to scale and the scale lineweight box being checked to make it look correct at each plotted out scaled drawing, Revit has lineweights as per designated scale. Now the question is: Is ACAD pen weight #1 at .125" plotted out at 1/4" scale (and scaled pen weight plotted out at 1 1/2" scale, I know the weights are different then) the same as the Revit weight #1 at .125" in 1/4" scale and the .325" in 1 1/2" scale? Simply put "Is Revit changing my lineweights (plotted out) between the 1/4" scale and the 1 1/2" scale??" John KinneyEllenzweig

First Rule in using Revit, Never Compare it with Autocad. Have such problems like yours before when exporting Revit drawings to Autocad. Once a Revit view/sheet is exported to Autocad, you can do two things when it comes to plotting your dwg. First, try to plot your using your ctb with your designated color/lineweights with "Plot with Line Style" button checked. If that works, then good. If not, unchecked "Plot with Line Style" button and automatically the "plot Object Linetype" is checked. No need to care which ctb file you use, as you can see from the preview (zoom if you may), objects have their own lineweight, just as they were in Revit. Hope this help.

Sorry those in charge want the exact same quality that we have in ACAD now from Revit, so Yes I do have to compare Revit to ACAD. We actually never wanted to export Revit to ACAD, we wanted a stand alone Revit drawing with the same quality that we have currently in ACAD.

Though Revit seems to automate elvations, Sections, Detailing, scheduling and the likes, you need some "linework" (the command itself) to do some manuevering to suit your preferences. Parametric help much in coordination rather than drawing/drafting presentation. Yes, you can mimic the so familiar Autocad plans with Revit and so much more.

Another 2 things you can do: 1. Explain your Bosses that is DIFFERENT software with DIFFERENT mentality. Either CAD or Revit. It can't be compared. 2. When you Export to cad you haveOoptions button there. Click on that and go Layer settings. Revise that. Unfortunately it would take you a while. In order not to do it in the future you should modify Template file you are using for your future projects. Open Teplate File and go File - Export/Import Settings.
