I am using REVIT 2013 and am having problems when I export to autocad. We have several images on the sheets. These images need to be cropped and since REVIT cannot crop we are using masking regions to cover up the areas we don't want to see. But when the sheet is exported to autocad, the masking regions disapear. In the autocad file I can see the areas of the image that I don't want to see.
Any idea why this is happening and how it can be corrected?
Thanks

You don't you crop the images to how you need them before bringing them into Revit?

jwetmore, Revit does crop so please expand your question to clarify.
Revit also will export masking regions but they may be turned off in the CAD file. Turn them on in CAD.

You can't cut a drafting view- draw it right.
All model views can be cropped. Turn on crop region, adjest it and turn on crop view. << In view properties.
CAD masking is no a layer - it is a setting in CAD. I believe it is fillmode.

I checked the CAD file again. All of the layers are turned on so I don't think that the regions are there. If you have found a way to crop an image in REVIT please let me know. I can't crop the image and I can't crop a drafting view.

I tried changing the fillmode and it has no affect. Do you have any other ideas? The image that needs to be cropped is in a drafting view so the view cannot be cropped. I cannot crop the image in REVIT because it does not have the capability. I cannot edit the image file because REVIT does not link images so I would have to replace all of the images (about 100) after I edit them. Adding masking reagions does not work when it is exported to Autocad (unfortunately the client insists that it be exported to Autocad)

Fillmode is for filled regions - like a solid fill. Use a masking region - not a white solid fill.

Yes it works fine when you are cropping linework. But in this case I am cropping an imported image. The image is cropped with the masking region in REVIT but is not cropped when exported to Autocad

and now we hear ".... the rest of the story ..." Why wait until now to tell us?
You are right. Imported images are treated differently. Crop them before you import...
Or ... don't use in a drafting view - use a model view where the view will be cropped.

I don't mean to be rude, but I clearly explained that I was using imported images in the first posting of this thread. I also explained that I do not want to crop the images themselves because then I would have to reimport 100 images. I am looking for creative ways to deal with this situation.

Not rude - just incorrect..... You may think you mentioned imported images but re-read your first post. Nothing about imported images into revit.... nothing. Just ..."We have several images on the sheets."....
