Export the relevent 'Revit view' say 'Level 1 plan' for E.g into AutoCAD using the export command under 'File' Menu and send it across through e-mail....That's it.

Papurajx,
I have tried this before. When you choose the Revit View (not sheet?) it asks you under File- Export-to choose "Dwg, DXF, DGN" then I save it to a folder. When I mail this new .dwg the reciever says that it has arrived missing it's ex-ref.

We always open the dwg file after the export and bind the xref's. By default revit has the sheet as one file and each addtional view a separate file xref'd into the sheet file...

Open the dwg, sheet file. type "xref" then hit enter. Select all the xref's and choose bind, then you are given an option to bind or insert, choose bind... There you go (save). You can now delete the other dwg files that revit created.

Mr. Spot,
Thank you for your last advise.
But I cannot bind the new dwg.
I take the Revit file choose export rename it and select view/sheet (which I check the appropriate one.
I then open 1 of the new dwg's that have been created. I type in xref and once I am in xref manager there is nothing to select. I am given no files or xrefs to choose in the xref manager window so nothing can be bound.
Do you have any ideas?
Paul

No your method is fine.
Your opening the wrong file. You need to open the sheet file, you can tell my the size of the file also, sheet files will be typically around 40-50K where is the others will be inexcess of 500KB. Make sure you open the sheet file then type xref and bind...
