I have a question in regards to a problem with text when I export a sheet from Revit to AutoCAD.  Im new to Revit and working on my first project using the platform.  I have a feeling im doing something wrong, but if anyone has any ides, it would be appreciated.

When I go to export a drawing from Revit to AutoCAD, I make sure im saving to AutoCAD 2004, drawing is properly named, xref views is unchecked etc.  Everything works out fine, except for the text - most of the dimensioning text, and some of the general text have white boxes overtop of the text (as if background opaque option has been translated as well).  I've tried everything - but nothing works!  Please let me know.

It may be the draw order is not right and the text background is coming into AutoCAD is text masking.

From within Revit, change the Text type property for Background from Opaque to Transparent.
