Hi All,
I have exported a revit drawing to dwg format and sent it to another architectural firm working in joint venture with us.
They will not accept the dwg as it does not conform to their cad layer names set-up.
Is it possible to set up my export settings table to exactly match their layer names?

Goto FILE... IMPORT/EXPORT SETTINGS. By default Revit Maps Categories and Subcategories to layer names and color numbers to AIA Standards. It would be nice if Revit had the option of exporting layers by linetype but it only does that for the LINES category.

Hi arcodex1,
It seems to me that Revit fails to offer any real ability to export .dwg drawings with any form of competance.
From what I can see the 'cut' and 'profile' columns offer no function unless I create two separate layer to account for the same element in cut and then on profile. Our autocad 'wall' layer now needs to be 'wall-cut' and 'wall-profile' just so I can set the pen settings to export correctly.
The team of engineers and architectural firms we joint venture with from time to time are not about to change their autocad layer name protocols just because my Revit software cannot export to match their layer names.
Not impressed.
Unless I am completly not understanding how this export settings table works.
